London Metropolitan Police, David Cameron Load up, Load up, Load up! The British Police and Government are far too soft. Shoot the little c#@ts!. Invoice their families for wasting police time and the bullets.
Maybe this is what they need in England at the moment with these riots going on...It is turning into a nightmare..Bring out the 'National Guard'..and..Load Up...Just sayin...
is it just me or does the lead singer and the drummer look like brothers? and its an allusion to the series of prison riots that followed the attica riots. thats why this band or brits talk about american prison structures and political positions-governors, seargents, precincts? death row? dont have those in britain or irleand.
What's this song about? Here's my theory: The "County Gaol" is more like a hotel than a prison, with parties, and people breaking in to attend the parties. And Sergeant Baker - the new man in charge - won't let it go on a moment longer!
It's a pity that they wouldn't let the band perform the whole song
My sister,brother & I played the single vinyl over & over until we knew all the words off by heart.Our grandmother bought it for us,cos she knew how much we loved it....Every time I hear it I think of her.....
@Doogs13 I'm a fan of 10cc & admire Kevin Godley's musical talent, but let me tell you he's not a "real" drummer & therefore in my opinion should be positioned at the back of the band & not at the front of the stage as if he were Buddy Rich or Gene Krupa.
is...is that Steve Coogan ?

So wya ahead of their time the fans must still theink new music is over two generations old.
Think about this. If May and Mercury has never heard this band then there would never have been Queen. This is a FACT.
10 cc are the most underrated band in the UK. Another simple fact.
