The band is best remembered for their instrumental version of Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love, which got into in the UK singles chart in 1970, and was used as the theme tune for the popular BBC pop programme "Top of the Pops" for most of the 1970s, and, in a remixed version, between 1998 and 2003.
Their song, 'Tap Turns On The Water', featured in the BBC Three comedy sketch show 'Tittybangbang' and another song, 'Brother', was used by DJ Tom Browne during his tenure of the BBC Chart Countdown programme in the seventies.

CCS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Massing on my window pane
Sends fire scouting through my brain
Sunrise
Turns my face to burning brass
And my eyes to molten blood
I've got a long day to live
Don't know if I'll make it but I'll try
Sunshine
Early morning light is still
Colours creeping up the hill
Sunshine
People shuffling down the street
Sleep still dragging at their feet
And it's time to stop thinking
About the things I gotta do
All day through
High noon
I've been thinking half the day
Almost worn my mind away
High noon
Sunshine beating on my head
Scorching 'til your face is dead
It's your own fault woman
You shouldn't have tried to get inside
My hide
Sunset
Now the light is fading fast
And another day is past
Sunset
Now your face come back to life
Carving like a Sunday knife
If this pain is love
It's almost more than I can stand
To be your man
The song Sunrise by CCS is about the various stages of a day, as observed by the singer. The lyrics vividly describe the sunrise, sunshine, high noon, and sunset, highlighting the different emotions and physical sensations experienced at each stage. In the first stanza, the sunrise is described as sending fire scattering through the singer's brain, turning their face to burning brass and their eyes to molten blood. This could be interpreted as the overwhelming and sometimes painful stimulation that can come with a brand new day, and the determination to make it through the challenges ahead.
In the second stanza, the focus is on the early morning sunshine and the people who are shuffling down the street with sleep still dragging at their feet. The singer acknowledges that it's time to stop thinking about the things they have to do all day, but also acknowledges the inevitability of this task. The third stanza is the most intense, with the high noon sun beating down relentlessly and nearly driving the singer to madness. This part of the song emphasizes the importance of taking breaks, not overworking oneself, and dealing with the pressure of work and the midday sun.
Finally, the sunset is observed, with the light fading fast and another day past. The singer reflects on the possibility that the pain they're feeling could be love, and the heaviness of the responsibility of being someone's partner. Overall, Sunrise is a meditation on the passage of time and the emotional and physical experiences that come with each stage of the day.
