I came across a cache of old photos
And invitations to teenage parties
"Dress in white" one said (1)________ quotations
From someone's wife, a famous writer
In the nineteen-twenties

And we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought, then (4)________________ "Make amends"
And we were never holding back
Or worried that

You'll have nothing left and (5)______________ to care for
In the nineteen-seventies"

I would never find myself 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, then thought: "Make amends"
And we (7)________ never holding back
Or worried that

We were always hoping that

In rented rooms and foreign places
All the people I was kissing
Some are here and (8)________ 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
You'd be sitting somewhere (9)________ 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, (10)________ thought: "Make amends"
