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
