O 10cc surgiu da reunião de quatro mentes brilhantes, Eric Stewart, Graham Gouldman, Kevin Godley & Lol Creme, todos já extremamente experientes no meio musical seja como instrumentistas ou como compositores. Vejamos: Eric Stewart foi compositor/vocalista do The Mindbenders('Game Of Love', 'Groovy Kind Of Love'); Graham Gouldman escreveu pérolas pop como 'For Your Love' e 'Heartfull Of Soul'(Yardbirds), 'No Milk Today'(Herman's Hermits), 'Look Through Any Window' e 'Bus Stop'(The Hollies), etc.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
DG I went to a party at the local county jail DG All the cons were dancing and the men began to wail AG But the guys were indiscrete they were balling in the street DADA At the local dance at the local county jail DG Well the band were playing and the booze began to flow DG But the sound came over on the police car radio AG Down at Precinct 9 having a tear gas of a time DADA Sergeant Baker got a call from the governor of the County Jail
BmG load up load up load up with rubber bullets BmG load up load up load up with rubber bullets EmA I love to hear those convicts squeal EmA It's a shame these slugs ain't real DADA But we can't have dancing at the local county jail
DG Sergeant Baker and his men made a beeline for the jail DG And for miles around you could hear the sirens wail AG There's a rumour going down death row that a fuse is going to blow DAD At the local hop at the local county jail Eb What you gonna do about it what you gonna do E What you gonna do about it what you gonna do
