When they say promises
They mean promises
They'd say, that's okay
Long as we can celebrate
Ooh, you see, my uncle would say
Things would change when he's dead
Meet me in the bathroom
That's what she said
I don't mind
It's true
Hey
Never was on time
Yes, I once was mine
Well, that was long ago
And darling, I don't mind
Yeah, we were just two friends in lust
And baby, that just don't mean much
Oh yeah, you trained me not to love
After you showed me what it was
Now she's staring wide-eyed
Can't close her eyes
Say what?
Anywhere is fine
Just don't waste my time
Ah, you see, my uncle would say
Things would change once he's dead
Meet me in the bathroom
That's what she said
I don't mind
It's true
Never was on time
Yes, I once was mine
Well, that was long ago
And darling, I don't mind
Yeah, they were just two fucks in lust
Oh baby, that just don't mean much
Oh yeah, you trained me not to love
After you taught me what it was
They mean promises
They'd say, that's okay
Long as we can celebrate
Ooh, you see, my uncle would say
Things would change when he's dead
Meet me in the bathroom
That's what she said
I don't mind
It's true
Hey
Never was on time
Yes, I once was mine
Well, that was long ago
And darling, I don't mind
Yeah, we were just two friends in lust
And baby, that just don't mean much
Oh yeah, you trained me not to love
After you showed me what it was
Now she's staring wide-eyed
Can't close her eyes
Say what?
Anywhere is fine
Just don't waste my time
Ah, you see, my uncle would say
Things would change once he's dead
Meet me in the bathroom
That's what she said
I don't mind
It's true
Never was on time
Yes, I once was mine
Well, that was long ago
And darling, I don't mind
Yeah, they were just two fucks in lust
Oh baby, that just don't mean much
Oh yeah, you trained me not to love
After you taught me what it was

Am I the only one who thinks this has to do with Julian's father/parents? Promises; like wedding vows. They can celebrate the wedding, get drunk & whatnot. The uncle reference could be a personal thing & not a metaphor.
Then it sorta goes into how Julian treats girls, maybe. They're just fucks & nothing more. His father kind of skewed the whole idea of love for him. The last chorus changes from 'we' to 'they.' 'They' are his parents.
Just a thought. Room On Fire is the best Strokes album hands down.
I think you are spot on dude.
