Being Boring (Extended Mix|2018 Remaster) - 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 nineteen

Twenties

When you're young

You find inspiration in

Anyone

Who's ever gone

And opened up

A closing door

She said

We were never feeling bored

'Cause we were never being boring

We had too much time

To find for ourselves

And we were never being boring

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

You'll have nothing left

And nothing to care for

In the nineteen

Seventies

But I sat back

And looking forward

My shoes were high

And I had spots

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

We dressed up and fought

Then thought

Make amends

And we were never holding back

Or worried that

Time would come to an end

We were always hoping that

Looking back

You could

Always rely on a friend

Now I sit

With different faces

In rented rooms

And foreign places

All the people

I was kissing

Some are here

And some are missing

In the nineteen

Nineties

I never dreamt

That I would get to be

The creature that

I always meant to be

But I thought

In spite of dreams

You'd be sitting

Somewhere here with me

'Cause we were never being boring

We had too much time

To find for ourselves

And we were never being boring

We dressed up and fought

Then thought

Make amends

And we were never holding back

Or worried that

Time would come to an end

We were always hoping that

Looking back

You could always rely

On a friend

And we were never being boring

We had too much time

To find for ourselves

And we were never being boring

We dressed up and fought

Then thought

Make amends

And we were never being boring

We were never being bored

'Cause we were never being boring

We were never being bored
