The first 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 
And swear 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 amps up high 
The stage caught fire (then?) the charts blew up 
And we play more 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 [we'd] 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 
Punk'll take over 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 
Are men laughed re-release the Cream 
(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
