Being Boring by Pet Shop Boys
I came across a cache of old photos
And invitations to teenage parties
"Dress in white" one said with 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 (1)____________ up a closing door
She said: "We were never (2)______________ bored"
'Cause we were (3)__________ 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 you're not careful
You'll 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 spots
I'd 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 (4)________ 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 (5)________ and (6)________ are missing
In the nineteen-nineties
I never dreamt that I would get to be
The creature (7)________ I always meant to be
But I thought in spite of dreams
You'd be sitting somewhere here with me
'Cause we (8)________ never being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
And we were never being boring
We (9)______________ up and fought, then thought: "Make amends"
And we were never holding back
Or worried that

We were always hoping that
Looking back you could always rely on a friend
And we were never being boring
