Being Boring Lyrics - Garden - Merril Bainbridge

I came across some casual photos 

An invitations to teenage parties 

Dress in white one said with quotations 

From someone's wife, a famous writer 

In my 1920's 

When you're young you find inspiration 

And anyone who's ever gone 

And opened up a closing door 

He 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 till thoughts made amends 

And we were never holding back 

Or worried that time would come to an end 

When I left I went to 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 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 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 till thoughts made 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 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 

'Cause we were never being boring 

We were never being bored 

We were never being boring 

We were never being bored 

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
