Being Boring (et sa harpe magique)...

 

zz

 

I came across a cache of old photos                     ’cause we were never being boring

and invitations to teenage parties                      We had too much time to find for ourselves

Dress in white’ one said with quotations               and we were never being boring

from someone’s wife, a famous writer                    We dressed up and fought then thought make amends

in the nineteen-twenties                                And we were never holding back or worried that

When you’re young you find inspiration                  time would come to an end

in anyone who’s ever gone                               We were always hoping that, looking back

and opened up a closing door                            you could always rely on a friend

She said we were never feeling bored                   

                                                        Now I sit with different faces

cause we were never being boring                       in rented rooms and foreign places

We had too much time to find for ourselves              All the people I was kissing

and we were never being boring                          some are here and some are missing

We dressed up and fought then thought make amends       in the nineteen-nineties

And we were never holding back or worried that          I never dreamt that I would get to be

time would come to an end                               the creature that I always meant to be

                                                        but I thought in spite of dreams

When I went I left from the station                     you’d be sitting somewhere here with me

with a havresac and some trepidation                   

Someone said if you’re not careful                      ’cause we were never being boring

you’ll have nothing left and nothing to care for        We had too much time to find for ourselves

in the nineteen-seventies                               and we were never being boring

But I sat back and looking forward                      We dressed up and fought then thought make amends

my shoes were high and I had scored                     And we were never holding back or worried that

I’d bolted through a closing door                       time would come to an end

and I would never find myself feeling bored             We were always hoping that, looking back

                                                        you could always rely on a friend

 

...And we were never being boring / We were never being bored / ’cause we were never being boring / We were never being bored...
