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 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
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 were never being bored
'Cause we were never being boring
We were never being bored
