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 doWe 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 didPromises Promises
Do you remember the promises promises, I do
Do you remember the promises promises, I doSoon 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 yeahDo you remember the promises promises, I do
Do you remember the promises promises, I doWhere 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 doPromises promises promises remember
Promises promises promises remember
Promises promises promises remember
Promises promises promises rememberPromises promises promises remember
Promises promises promises remember
Promises promises promises remember
Promises promises promises remember
Promises promises promises remember

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

The core members of Generation X, a seminal British punk rock band with heavy new wave and power pop influences, were singer-songwriter Billy Idol (who has since maintained a remarkable 30+ year solo career) and bassist Tony James (later of Sigue Sigue Sputnik and for a spell Sisters of Mercy before settling in Carbon/Silicon). Generation X was formed in 1976 after guitarist Billy Idol (a.k.a William Broad) and bassist Tony James decided to go out on their own, leaving Gene October, the leader of their then band Chelsea.
