Pet Shop Boys - Being Boring Lyrics
(tennant/lowe)---------------I came across a cache of old photosAnd invitations to teenage partiesDress in white one said, with quotationsFrom someones wife, a famous writerIn the nineteen-twentiesWhen youre young you find inspirationIn anyone whos ever goneAnd opened up a closing doorShe said: we were never feeling boredcause we were never being boringWe had too much time to find for ourselvesAnd we were never being boringWe dressed up and fought, then thought: make amendsAnd we were never holding back or worried thatTime would come to an endWhen I went I left from the stationWith a haversack and some trepidationSomeone said: if youre not carefulYoull have nothing left and nothing to care forIn the nineteen-seventiesBut I sat back and looking forwardMy shoes were high and I had scoredId bolted through a closing doorI would never find myself feeling boredcause we were never being boringWe had too much time to find for ourselvesAnd we were never being boringWe dressed up and fought, then thought: make amendsAnd we were never holding back or worried thatTime would come to an endWe were always hoping that, looking backYou could always rely on a friendNow I sit with different facesIn rented rooms and foreign placesAll the people I was kissingSome are here and some are missingIn the nineteen-ninetiesI never dreamt that I would get to beThe creature that I always meant to beBut I thought in spite of dreamsYoud be sitting somewhere here with mecause we were never being boringWe had too much time to find for ourselvesAnd we were never being boringWe dressed up and fought, then thought: make amendsAnd we were never holding back or worried thatTime would come to an endWe were always hoping that, looking backYou could always rely on a friendAnd we were never being boringWe had too much time to find for ourselvesAnd we were never being boringWe dressed up and fought, then thought: make amendsAnd we were never being boringWe were never being boredcause we were never being boringWe were never being bored
