Pet Shop Boys - Being Boring Lyrics






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

    To me, this video, the music, the extras, their insistence of, probably, including everyone who's actually anyone, to be in this video, from the very get-go, is a freeaking milestone. I recall way back, too, one person, a female, had even commented that that dog, on that trampoline with that dude, surprisingly didn't actual chomp on and eat his (personal) member....

  17. e.... D....

    Nils i am looking for Intel profiles ...not Boring...

    Gostaria de saber o que esse clip tenta passar para as pessoas através da letra dessa música. Tem uma melodia muito bonita e me recordo muito, porém, como não sou bom no inglês, gostaria de saber mais sobre a música.

    G.... d....

    I was young, full of energy...a stud. Today I tried to grab my keys from the floor and pulled my back. I had to play this song.....

  27. D.... M....

    Absolutely stunning song writen about those we lost in the Hiv epidemic of the 70s 80s 90s ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  28. S.... E....

    I remeber when I first saw this video over 20 years ago, I was 18 and recently came out as gay to my parents. I felt so ugly compared to those guys in the video! And now, over 20 years later there is still this feeling of uglyness when I wath those guys. And I wonder what happened to all those models in the video and how they look today...

  29. T.... W....

  49. s.... b....

    Love this song

  50. S.... C....

    "All the people I was kissing, some are here and some are missing".. I was in my 20's when this masterpiece was released having fun and being surrounded by people I loved, I am 53 now and I am listening to it on a Sunday morning, with tears in my eyes for all my losses.. Parents, friends, lovers.. Some are here but most are missing..

  51. I.... B....

    Timeless song and video.

  52. G.... H....

    The lyrics are sublime, makes me cry, clever😙

  53. M.... O....

    If you walk up the stairs of this building, leaving the hotel reception behind you, you'll probably meet a sensually drunken Madonna walking through the corridors singing"Justify my Love" :)

  54. i.... p....

    Simplesmente lindo, só saudades!

  55. K.... K....

    I wander how many times did the Black guy fall down the stairs & broken bones did he sustain before getting moves right dancing on the stairs?

  56. P.... R....

    The 1325 people who disliked this were being boring

  57. t.... p....

    1,2 yet not 30...

  58. A.... A....

    Poland. October 2019

  59. M.... B....

    Música meio gay...

  60. C.... T....

    The day I leave this planet I will be SO PROUD to have been a teenager in the 80s and to get in adulthood in the 90s. The kids of today don't know how amazing it was, no cellphones, no internet, no social media, and those were still the happiest days of our lives.

  61. E.... M....

    This one, and Madonna's "Justify My Love" and "Erotica" are the sexiest video clips ever, in my opinion. 💖 from 🇬🇷

  62. T.... t....

    I remember loving this song when I first heard it at 17, swearing that this is how fearlessly I would live every day of my life. Now, at 46, I've learned to forgive myself for not doing so--still loving this song, maybe even more, but for different reasons...

  63. s.... G....

    Classic song still sounds fresh & original....respect👍❤

    God, I wish I was 20 again. Ode to the timeless literary folk. "Some are here, and some are missing...but I thought, in spite of dreams, you'd be somewhere sitting somewhere next to me..."
