Lyrics

The last lot made a few mistakes They didn't die young, they got big waists We got let down at the back of Earls Court We swore that night we'd never get caught 'Cause we were smarter than they were (They were) Two[?] started out with guitars and hate Our rooms in the clouds, we could hardly wait Our legs apart, our hands held up high The stage caught fire, the charts blew up And we play worse than they do (They do) Our promises, promises Do you remember the promises, promises? I do Do you remember the promises, promises? I do We made our shirts with sprays and knives We saved up for weeks for Malcolm's strides [?] Our hair was short, we said what we thought We'd never be scared, never be bought Never sell out like they did (They did) Our promises, promises Do you remember the promises, promises? I do Do you remember the promises, promises? I do Soon you'll get your gear from Marks and Sparks Punks'll take over the Top of the Pops Think you're havin' a real cool time? Watch out kid, you're next in line, oh yeah Do you remember the promises, promises? I do Do you remember the promises, promises? I dooo Where were you in '75? When there weren't no gigs and we were jive (Promises, promises, promises, remember) No one gave a shit for our rock 'n' roll dream A&R men laughed, Re-release The Cream (Promises, promises, promises, remember) And they thought we were stupid They thought we were stupid And we promised we'd get back, get back Do you remember the promises, promises? Do you remember the promises, promises? Oh, well I do, well I do, well I do Well I do, I do, I do Well I do, well I do Promises, promises, promises, remember Promises, promises, promises, remember Promises, promises, promises, remember Promises, promises, promises, remember Promises, promises, promises, remember Promises, promises, promises, remember Promises, promises, promises, remember Promises, promises, promises, remember Promises, promises, promises, remember
