Being Boring
Pet Shop Boys I came across a cache of old photos And invitations to teenage parties "Dress in white" one said, with quotations From someone's wife, a famous writer In the nineteenIn anyone who's ever gone When you're young you find inspiration And opened up a closing door She said: "We were never feeling bored 'Cause we were never being boring And we were never being boring We had too much time to find for ourselves We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make amends" And we were never holding back or worried that Time would come to an end When I went I left from the station With a haversack and some trepidation Someone said: "If you're not careful In the nineteenYou'll have nothing left and nothing to care for But I sat back and looking forward My shoes were high and I had scored I'd bolted through a closing door I would never find myself feeling bored 'Cause we were never being boring We had too much time to find for ourselves And we were never being boring And we were never holding back or worried that Time would come to an end We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make amends" We were always hoping that, looking back You could always rely on a friend In rented rooms and foreign places Now I sit with different faces All the people I was kissing Some are here and some are missing I never dreamt that I would get to be In the nineteenThe creature that I always meant to be But I thought in spite of dreams You'd be sitting somewhere here with me We had too much time to find for ourselves 'Cause we were never being boring And we were never being boring And we were never holding back or worried that Time would come to an end We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make amends" You could always rely on a friend We were always hoping that, looking back And we were never being boring 'Cause we were never being boring We were never being bored We were never being bored |
