Pet Shop Boys

Released: June 26, 2010

Songwriter: Chris Lowe Neil Tennant

Producer: Alison Howe

[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]
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

[Pre-Chorus 1: Neil Tennant]
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

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
'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

[Verse 2: Neil Tennant]
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"

[Pre-Chorus 2: Neil Tennant]
But I sat back and looking forward
My shoes were high and I had scored
I'd bolted through a closing door
And I would never find myself feeling bored

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
'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

[Verse 3: Neil Tennant]
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

[Pre-Chorus 3: Neil Tennant]
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

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
'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

[Post-Chorus: Neil Tennant]
And we were never being boring
We were never being bored
'Cause we were never being boring
We were never being bored
"Thank you, Glastonbury."

[Outro: Neil Tennant]
"Thank you, you have been amazing all this tonight!"
"You have made two men very happy, thank you very much."
"We also please, show your appretiation for Sophie Duniam, Polly Duniam, Sean Williams, Helena Dowling! Our keyboards, the one and only Chris Lowe!"
"My name is Neil Tennant."
"We're the Pet Shop Boys."
"You're Glastonbury and for that we love you. Thank you very much. We'll do one more song."
