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 opened up a closing door
She said: "We were never feeling bored"
'Cause we were never being boring
We had too (1)________ (2)________ 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

In the nineteen-seventies"

'Cause we were never being boring
We had too much (6)________ 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 were always hoping that
Looking (7)________ you could always (8)________ on a friend

Now I sit with different faces
In rented rooms and foreign places
All the people I was kissing
Some are here and some 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 here with me
'Cause we were never being boring
We had too much time to (9)________ 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 were always hoping that
Looking back you could always rely on a friend
And we were never being boring
We were never (10)__________ bored
'cause we were never being boring
