“She was never bored mainly because she was never boring” – Zelda Fitzgerald

“I came across a cache of old photos

And invitations to teenage parties

Dress in white one said, with quotations

From someones wife, a famous writer

In the nineteen-twenties

When youre young you find inspiration

In anyone whos ever gone

And opened up a closing door

She 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, then thought: make amends

And we were never holding back or worried that

Time would come to an end

.

When I went I left from the station

With a haversack and some trepidation

Someone said: if youre not careful

Youll have nothing left and nothing to care for

In the nineteen-seventies

But I sat back and looking forward

My shoes were high and I had scored

Id 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, 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

.

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

I never dreamt that I would get to be

The creature that I always meant to be

But I thought in spite of dreams

Youd be sitting somewhere here with me

.

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

.

And 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 being boring

We were never being bored

cause we were never being boring."We were never being bored”
