Generation X - Promises Promises lyrics

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 sh** 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
