Being Boring [Live at Glastonbury Festival, Worthy Farm, Pilton, UK - 2010/06/26]

Lyrics

[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."
