I came across a cache full of photos and invitations to teenage parties Dressed in white, one set with quotations from someone's wife A famous writer in the 1920s 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 Cos we were never being boring We had too much time to find for ourselves And we were never being boring We dressed up in forts and thought to make amends And we were never holding back 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 1970s But I sat back and looking forward My shoes were high and I had sports I bolted through a closing door And I would never find myself feeling bored Cos we were never being boring We had too much time to find for ourselves And we were never being boring We dressed up in forts and thought to make amends And we were never holding back Worried that time would come to an end We were always hoping that Looking back you could always rely on a friend We were never being boring We had too much time to find for ourselves And we were never holding back Worried that time would come to an end When I went, I left from the station with a haversack and some trepidation And nothing to care for in the 1970s But I sat back and looking forward My shoes were high and I had sports I bolted through a closing door And I would never find myself feeling bored We had too much time to find for ourselves And we were never holding back Worried that time would come to an end We were never being boring We had too much time to find for ourselves And we were never holding back Worried that time would come to an end When I went, I left from the station with a haversack and some trepidation And nothing to care for in the 1970s But I sat back and looking forward My shoes were high and I had sports I bolted through a closing door And I would never find myself feeling bored We had too much time to find for ourselves And we were never holding back Worried that time would come to an end When I went, I left from the station with a haversack and some trepidation And nothing to care for in the 1970s But I sat back and looking forward My shoes were high and I had sports I bolted through a closing door And I would never find myself feeling bored We had too much time to find for ourselves And we were never holding back Worried that time would come to an end When I went, I left from the station with a haversack and some trepidation And nothing to care for in the 1970s But I sat back and looking forward My shoes were high and I had sports I bolted through a closing door And I would never find myself feeling bored We had too much time to find for ourselves And we were never holding back Worried that time would come to an end When I went, I left from the station with a haversack and some trepidation And nothing to care for in the 1970s But I sat back and looking forward My shoes were high and I had sports 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 line 19 But I sat back and looking forward My shoes were high and I had sports I bolted through a closing door And I would never find myself feeling bored Missing in the 1990s 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 in thoughts and thoughts make amends And we were never holding back 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 in thoughts and thoughts make amends And we were never being boring We were never being bored Cause we were never being boring We were never being bored We were never being boring We were never being boring We were never being boring We were never being boring We were never being boring We were never being boring We were never being boring
