Being Boring by Pet Shop Boys

I came across a cache of old photos
And (1)______________________ to (2)______________ parties
"Dress in white" one said (3)________ 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 (4)__________ being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
And we (5)________ (6)__________ (7)__________ boring

And we were never holding back
Or worried that
Time would come to an end

When I (8)________ I left from the station
With a (9)__________________ and (10)________ trepidation

All the people I was kissing
Some are (17)________ and (18)________ are missing
In the nineteen-nineties
I never dreamt (19)________ I would get to be
The creature (20)________ I always meant to be
But I thought in spite of dreams
You'd be sitting somewhere (21)________ with me
'Cause we (22)________ never being boring
We had too (23)________ time to find for ourselves
And we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make amends"
And we were (24)__________ holding back
Or worried that
Time would come to an end
We were (25)____________ hoping that
Looking (26)________ you could always rely on a friend
And we (27)________ never being boring
We were never (28)__________ bored
'cause we were never being boring
We were never being bored
