Being Boring - 2001 Remaster

Lyrics

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 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
 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
