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 (1)________ gone
And opened up a closing door
She said: "We were (2)__________ feeling bored"
'Cause we (3)________ never being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
And we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought, (4)________ (5)________________ "Make amends"
And we (6)________ (7)__________ holding back
Or (8)______________ that
Time would come to an end
When I went I (9)________ 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"
But I sat back and looking forward
My shoes were high and I had spots
I'd bolted through a closing door
I would never find myself feeling bored
'Cause we were never being boring
We had too much time to (10)________ for ourselves
And we were (11)__________ being boring
We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make amends"
And we were (12)__________ (13)______________ back
Or worried that
Time would come to an end
We were always hoping that
Looking back you could (14)____________ rely on a friend
Now I sit with different faces
In rented rooms and (15)______________ places
All the (16)____________ I was kissing
Some are here and some are missing
In the nineteen-nineties
I never dreamt (17)________ I (18)__________ get to be
The creature that I (19)____________ 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 (20)________ for ourselves
And we were never (21)__________ boring
We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make amends"
And we were never holding back
