Being Boring by Pet Shop Boys

I came across a cache of old photos
And invitations to teenage parties
"Dress in white" one (1)________ with quotations
From someone's wife, a famous writer
In the nineteen-twenties
When you're young you find inspiration
In anyone who's (2)________ gone
And opened up a (3)______________ door
She said: "We were (4)__________ feeling bored"
'Cause we (5)________ (6)__________ (7)__________ boring
We had too much (8)________ to (9)________ for ourselves
And we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought, (10)________ thought: "Make amends"
And we were never holding back
Or (11)______________ 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 (12)________ nothing left and nothing to (13)________ for
In the nineteen-seventies"
But I sat back and looking forward
My (14)__________ were high and I had spots
I'd bolted (15)______________ a (16)______________ door
I would (17)__________ find myself feeling bored
'Cause we were (18)__________ being boring
We had too (19)________ time to find for ourselves
And we (20)________ never being boring
We (21)______________ 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

Now I sit with different faces
In rented (22)__________ and foreign places
All the (23)____________ 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 (24)________ with me
'Cause we were (25)__________ being boring
We had too (26)________ 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 (27)________ always hoping that
Looking back you could always (28)________ on a friend
And we (29)________ never being boring
We (30)________ never being bored
'cause we were never being boring
We were never being bored
