I came across a cache of old photos
and invitations to teenage parties
Dress in white one said with quotations
from someones wife,
a famous writer in the nineteen-twenties
When youre young you find inspiration
in anyone whos ever gone
And opened up a closing door
She said we were never feeling bored
Cos 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 youre not careful youll 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
Id bolted through a closing door
and I would never find myself feeling bored
Cos 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
x2
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 I always meant to be
But I thought in spite of dreams, youd be sitting her with me
Cos 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 were never being bored
Cos we were never being boring
We were never feeling bored
