I buried my head in the sand
There's no use in us making plans
If there's breath in my lungs
I'm keeping myself to myself
Still gathering dust on that shelf
It was breath my lungs
And there's war to be won
Are you back at my home?
And this doesn't matter to me
As long as I know I'll still breathe
If there's breath in my lungs
Then there's wars to be won
I've buried my neck in the sand
There's no use in us making plans
If there's breath in my lungs
Been keeping myself to myself
Still gathering dust on that shelf
Because I'll still be that boy
The boy in the backseat
Are you back at my house?
And this doesn't matter to me
As long as I know I'll still breathe
If there's breath in my lungs
Are you happy?
Are you back in your home?
A shower and a shave
That's about all I control

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.
