I lost my crown
When it hit the ground
With an almighty thud
I went to pick it up
And reveal my weaknesses to the crowd
And I lost my home
when I lost my throne
to a successor
With far more expansive plans
than I ever did
I abdicated
You're the last thing I want
I'd love to stay here
You're the last thing I want
I'd love to live here
I sat in my castle
and I waited on news
From one final battle
that we couldn't afford to lose
and I whispered suddenly
My greatest fears to anyone that would hear me
You're the last thing I want
I'd love to stay here
You're the last thing I want
I'm going to stay here

We Were Promised Jetpacks è un gruppo indie rock scozzese formatosi ad Edimburgo nel 2006. Il quartetto, composto da Adam Thompson (voce, chitarra), Michael Palmer (chitarra), Sean Smith (basso) e Darren Lackie (batteria), si distingue per un sound caratterizzato da melodie orecchiabili, riff energici e testi introspettivi che esplorano temi come l'amore, la perdita e la ricerca di identità. Dopo aver pubblicato diversi EP indipendenti, il gruppo ha firmato con la FatCat Records nel 2009, rilasciando il loro album di debutto omonimo, "We Were Promised Jetpacks", accolto con grande successo dalla critica. L'album ha consolidato la posizione del gruppo nell'indie rock britannico, portandoli a esibirsi in festival importanti come il Glastonbury e il T in the Park. Nel corso degli anni, We Were Promised Jetpacks hanno pubblicato altri album di successo, tra cui "In Gold Light" (2011) e "The New Frontier" (2016), consolidando la loro reputazione di band talentuosa e apprezzata dal pubblico. Tra i brani più rappresentativi del gruppo ricordiamo "Quiet Little Voices", "Maybe You're Right", e "The End of the World".
