**

I'm not in love, so don't forget it.
It's just a silly phase I'm going through.
And just because I call you up,
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made.
I'm not in love, no no, it's because...

I like to see you, but then again,
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me.
So if I call you, don't make a fuss -
Don't tell your friends about the two of us.
I'm not in love, no no, it's because...

I keep your picture upon the wall.
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there.
So don't you ask me to give it back.
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me.
I'm not in love, no no, it's because...

Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me.
Ooh, you'll wait a long time.
I'm not in love, I'm not in love...

I read that it says "be quiet, be poised and quiet" contrary to popular belief.

Apparently a lot of people were hearing that...but according to the song's author and lead vocalist, 10cc's Eric Stewart, they were looking for some words to 'fill that empty instrumental section separating the two verses from the bridge, they got the studio's secretary, Cathy Redfern, to say the lines, "be quiet-big boys don't cry"', and had the last part of the line on a loop.....

Good stuff!

One of my all time favorites. I did a whole thread on it a few years back. It's got a perfect dreamy sound to it, and those 256 layers(!) of vocals intensify the feeling. They've got other good songs, but none compare to this one.

I figured out that it appears on a K-Tel compilation that my mom had so I'm wondering if this is some really deep-dish throwback for me, but I swear I *JUST* discovered this song. I even knew other songs of theirs before hearing this one and was already sold on them.

Cinnie said:

Well, now we know what you were singing into that plastic microphone.

RipHer2Shreds said:

Didn't I do a 10cc thread once?

Or was that you?

minneapolisgenius said:

It's possible we both did. Did either of us mention that they took their name from the average amount of ejaculate in a male orgasm? How's 'bout that when thinking of that "nasty stain that's lying there?"

RipHer2Shreds said:

Yes, I did know that (but probably failed to mention it before) And yes I do think of that frequently.

I have a best of 10cc 1972-1978 and Sheet Music.

I'd like to see that old thread.

one of the best songs ever IMO, just so cynical despite being Lovely and soft. There is also an Amazing cover by Rick Springfield on his latest CD The Day After Yesterday, on that cd Rick covers songs that he always loved and wished he had written.

Looks like Anxiety missed this thread.
