West End Girls - Being Boring Lyrics lyrics

rate me

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

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 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

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

Youd 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
