Being Boring - 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 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 wre never bing 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»
