Being Boring by Pet Shop Boys

I (1)________ across a cache of old photos
And invitations to teenage parties
"Dress in white" one said with quotations
From someone's wife, a (2)____________ writer
In the nineteen-twenties
When you're (3)__________ you find inspiration
In anyone who's ever gone
And opened up a (4)______________ door
She said: "We (5)________ never feeling bored"
'Cause we were (6)__________ being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
And we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought, (7)________ thought: "Make amends"
And we (8)________ never (9)______________ back
Or (10)______________ that
Time would come to an end

When I (11)________ I left from the station
With a haversack and some trepidation
Someone (12)__________ "If you're not careful
You'll have nothing (13)________ and nothing to (14)________ for
In the nineteen-seventies"
But I sat back and looking forward
My shoes were (15)________ and I had spots
I'd bolted (16)______________ 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 (17)__________ being boring
We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make amends"
And we (18)________ never holding back
Or worried that
Time would come to an end
We (19)________ always hoping that
Looking back you (20)__________ always (21)________ on a friend

Now I sit with different faces
In (22)____________ rooms and foreign places
All the people I was kissing
Some are here and some are missing
In the nineteen-nineties
I never (23)____________ that I would get to be
The creature that I (24)____________ 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 (25)________ for ourselves
And we (26)________ 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
'cause we were (27)__________ being boring
We were never being bored
