Being Boring

		synthesizer
I came across 
a cache of old photos And 
invitations to teenage parties
"Dress in white" 
oa
e said, with quotations Fro*m 
someone‘s wife, 
a famous writer I**n the nineti..een-
twen ti..es...ssss

When you‘re young 
you find inspiration In 
anyone who‘s ever go..ne
And opened up a closi
g door
She saeid: "Wi*e we
e ne*ve
 fi*eeli
g  bo*red

‘Cause we were never being boring
Wie had too muach ta*..ime 
to find for ourselves
And we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought, then thought: 
"Me..ake ame...nds"
And we were never 
ho*ldi**ng beack 
or worried tha	
Time would come to an e\nd"

When I went 
I left from the station With a 
haversack and some tri..epi..de..atio*n
Someone said: "If you‘re noa	 
ce*areful / You‘ll he...ave noa	hing le*ft 
and nothing to care for I**n the nineteen-
seventies" sss

But I sat back 
and looki
g forwe*ard
Ma...y shoes were high 
and I had scored
I‘d bolted through a closing door
...I would neve
 find myself feeli
g bo*...red

‘Cause we were never being boring
..Wi*...e (had tu..oo much ta*ime)
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 e*nd
We were always hoping that, 
looking back
You could always rea....ly on a frie\nd

Now I sit 
with different faa...ce*...s I
 
rented rooms and foreign places
Ao*ll the peopl\..e 
I* woas kissing
Some are here 
and some are missing I*n 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
..Wi*...e (had tuoo much ta*ime)
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 e*nd
We were always hoping that, 
looking back
You could always rea....ly on a frie\nd
