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 (1)________ inspiration
In anyone who's ever gone
And opened up a closing door
She said: "We were (2)__________ feeling bored"
'Cause we (3)________ never being boring
We had too (4)________ time to find for ourselves
And we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought, (5)________ thought: "Make amends"
And we were (6)__________ holding back
Or worried that
Time would (7)________ 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 (8)________ for
In the nineteen-seventies"
But I sat back and looking forward
My shoes were high and I had spots
I'd bolted (9)______________ a closing door
I would never find (10)____________ feeling bored
'Cause we (11)________ never being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
And we (12)________ never being boring
We dressed up and fought, then (13)________________ "Make amends"
And we were never holding back
Or worried that
Time would come to an end
We (14)________ always hoping that
Looking back you could always rely on a friend

Now I sit with (15)__________________ faces
In (16)____________ (17)__________ and foreign places
All the (18)____________ I was kissing
Some are (19)________ and some are missing
In the nineteen-nineties
I never (20)____________ that I (21)__________ get to be
The (22)________________ that I always meant to be
But I thought in spite of dreams
You'd be sitting (23)__________________ (24)________ with me
'Cause we were never being boring
We had too much time to (25)________ for ourselves
And we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make amends"
And we (26)________ never holding back
Or worried that
Time would come to an end
We were always hoping that
Looking back you could always (27)________ on a friend
And we were never being boring
We were never being bored
'cause we were never being boring
We were never being bored
