Being Boring Lyrics - Singles - Bainbridge Merril

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
