10cc - "You've Got A Cold"

"You've Got A Cold"

Your nose is runnin'
And your eyes are red
Your head is achin'
You'd be better in bed
From the bottom of your fever
To the throbbing in your toes
You've got a cold
You've got a cold

You're searching madly
To find a cure
But the mercury's rising
To a hundred and four
You've got a beauty, a bad ass
The mother of them all
You've got a cold
You've got a cold

Ain't no use in fightin' it
Get into bed and try to sweat it out

Hot toddies won't help you
Warm blankets won't sweat it out
Inhalants just choke you
Hot flushes will tell you
Anyway you've got it
Ain't no doubt about it
Nothin' new about
You can scream and shout it

Hot toddies won't help you
Warm blankets won't sweat it out
Inhalants just choke you
Hot flushes will tell you
Anyway you've got it
Ain't no doubt about it
Nothin' new about
You can't fight it

Foreign bodies in your Kleenex
You've got no taste at all
While your system is dyin'
The bugs are havin' a ball
You've got a beauty, a bad ass
The mother of them all
You've got a cold
You've got a cold

Looks like they had a spare ten minutes to write a song in.

yeah, it's nuts but FUCK this is a good song.
Actually, I've been listening to deceptive bends, how dare you and sheet music obsessively lately; I'm looking forward to tucking in to the eponymous album, original soundtrack and bloody tourists... i can't believe how good this is.

Absolutely brilliant stuff.

Btw. "Ten Out Of 10" from 1981 was a great album too (their last great one), but it is friggin' hard to find. I think the only CD version available is a Japanese edition.
