Being Boring Songtext

von Merril Bainbridge

I came across some casual photos An invitation to teenage parties Dress in white one said with quotations From some- one's wife a famous writer In my nineteen twenties When you're young you find inspiration From anyone who's ever gone And opened up a closing door He said we were never being bored Cause we were never being boring We had too much time to find For ourselves We were never being boring We dressed and fought till thoughts made amends 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 When I left I went to the station With a haversack and some Trepidation someone said if your 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 being bored 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
