Promises Promises Lyrics
Billy Idol
The first[last? ] lot make a few mistakes
They didnt die young, they got big waists
We got let down at the back of earls court
[+and? ] we sware that night wed 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 malcolms strides
Our hair was short we said what we thought
Wed never be scared [wed] 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 youll get your gear form marks and sparks
Punkll take over top of the pops
Think youre having a real cool time?
Watch out kid youre 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 werent no gigs and we were jive
(promises promises promises remember)
No one gave a shit for our rocknroll 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 wed 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
