The last lot make 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)
|
|
We started out with guitars and hate
|
With our rooms in the clouds we could hardly wait
|
Our legs apart, our arms held up high
|
The stage caught fire the charts blew up
|
And we play worse than they do (they do)
|
|
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
|
Then 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
|
|
Promises Promises
|
Do you remember the promises promises - I do-
|
Do you remember the promises promises - I do-
|
|
Soon you'll get your gear form Marks and Sparks
|
Punks 'll take over the Top of the Pops
|
Think you're having 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 do-
|
|
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 Creem'
|
(Promises promises promises remember)
|
And they thought we were stupid
|
And 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
|
What I do, what I do, what I do, what
|
I do, I do, I do, what I do, what 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
