The first I've made, a few mistakes.
They didn't die young, they got big waists.
We got let down at the back of Earls Court.
We sware 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, and 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.
And also take over, the Top of the Pops.
Think you're having a real cool time?
Well 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,
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?
Well I do, well I do, well I do, what do I do?
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!

(guitar solo)

Promises, promises, promises, remember.
Promises, promises, promises, remember.
Promises, promises, promises, remember.
Promises, promises, promises, remember!
