[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: 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 wеre never bеing 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: Neil Tennant]
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

[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
