I came across some casual photos An invitations to teenage parties Dress in white one said with quotations From someone's wife, a famous writer In my 1920's When you're young you find inspiration And anyone who's ever gone And opened up a closing door He 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 till thoughts made amends And we were never holding back Or worried that time would come to an end When I left I went to 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 my nineteen seventies But I sat back and looking forward My shoes were high I had spores I 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 till thoughts made 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 in different faces In rented rooms and foreign places All the people I was kissing Some are here and some are missing In my 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 were never being bored We were never being boring We were never being bored 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
