10cc

Artiestinformatie

Land	Verenigd Koninkrijk

Britse rockgroep uit Manchester, die vooral in de jaren '70 populair was. Heette aanvankelijk Hotlegs, maar werd omgedoopt in 10cc nadat een producer een droom had gekregen waarin een wereldberoemde band voorkwam met die naam.

De band scoorde in Nederland twee nummer 1-hits: The Wall Street Shuffle (1974) en Dreadlock Holiday (1978). De groep bestond aanvankelijk uit Eric Stewart (zang en gitaar), Lol Creme (zang, gitaar en keyboard), Graham Gouldman (bas) en Kevin Godley (drums).

In 1983 scoorde 10cc zijn laatste hit. Leden van de groep zijn anno 2013 nog steeds actief in de muziek, maar tot een reünie kwam het (nog) niet.

Songtekst

Too many broken hearts have fallen in the river
Too many lonely souls have drifted out to sea,
You lay your bets and then you pay the price
The things we do for love, the things we do for love

Communication is the problem to the answer
You've got her number and your hand is on the phone
The weather's turned and all the lines are down
The things we do for love, the things we do for love

Like walking in the rain and the snow
When there's nowhere to go
And you're feelin' like a part of you is dying
And you're looking for the answer in her eyes
You think you're gonna break up
Then she says she wants to make up

Ooh, you made me love you
Ooh, you've got a way
Ooh, you had me crawling up the wall

Like walking in the rain and the snow
When there's nowhere to go
And you're feelin' like a part of you is dying
And you're looking for the answer in her eyes
You think you're gonna break up
Then she says she wants to make up

Ooh, you made me love you
Ooh, you've got a way
Ooh, you had me crawling up the wall

A compromise would surely help the situation
Agree to disagree but disagree to part
When after all it's just a compromise of
The things we do for love, the things we do for love
