Artist/Band: 10cc
Lyrics for Song: 4percent of something
Lyrics for Album: Complete Uk Recordings 1972-1974 [2004]



10CC - 4% of something



4% of something's

Better than 10% of nothing blue

4% of something's

Better than 10% of nothing blue

Well I don't like the way you work

It's all I can do



Working on a number

My fingers to the bone on my guitar

Working on a number

My fingers to the bone on my piano

All I got the end of the day

Is a message from the King



4% of something's

Better than 10% of nothing blue

4% of something's

Better than 10% of nothing blue

Well I don't like the way you work

It's all I can do



I'm trying to scratch a living

But, all this man is giving me is the blues

I'm trying to scratch a living

But, all the man is giving me is the blues

I've got to find a way to make my music play

Or I'm gonna lose my mind



4% of something's

Better than 10% of nothing blue

4% of something's

Better than 10% of nothing blue

Well I don't like the way you work

It's all I can do



4% of something's

Better than 10% of nothing blue

4% of something's

Better than 10% of nothing blue

Well I don't like the way you work

It's all I can do



4% of something's

Better than 10% of nothing blue

[Repeat to fade]


4percent of something

Released by 10CC on their 2004 compilation Complete Uk Recordings 1972-1974, this track exemplifies the band's signature blend of pop sensibility and theatrical flair. Emerging from the late 1970s, the song reflects the group's evolution following their earlier psychedelic rock phase, incorporating polished production and melodic hooks characteristic of their greatest hits era. The recording stands as a testament to the band's ability to craft memorable pop anthems that balanced humor with emotional resonance, solidifying their legacy in the UK new wave and synth-pop landscape. It remains a staple of their discography, showcasing the collaborative spirit that defined their work during this period.
