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 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
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 scored
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 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 back
You could always rely 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 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 back
You could always rely on a friend
And we were never being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
And we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought, then thought: Make amends
And we were never being boring
We were never being bored
`Cause we were never being boring
We were never being bored
