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?] We sware that night we'd never get caught
  Cos 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
  R 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
