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
|
