"Being Boring" is a song by the British pop group Pet Shop Boys, the opening track from their fourth album Behaviour.
As the second single release from the album, following "So Hard," "Being Boring" was not particularly successful upon release, only reaching number twenty in the UK Singles Chart and being the first single released by the group not to get into the Top 10 since "Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)" four years previously.
The song is concerned with the idea of growing up and how people's perceptions and values change as they grow older. The title apparently materialised after someone in Japan accused the duo of being boring. The title is also derived from a Zelda Fitzgerald quotation, "she refused to be bored chiefly because she wasn't boring".
Rated highly by Pet Shop Boy aficionados, in a 1993 interview Neil Tennant described "Being Boring" as "one of the best songs that we've written", and explained that "For me it is a personal song because it's about a friend of mine who died of AIDS, and so it's about our lives when we were teenagers and how we moved to London, and I suppose me becoming successful and him becoming ill."

Lyrics:
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
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
'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 you're not careful
you'll 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
I'd bolted through a closing door
and 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
you'd 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 were never being bored
'cause we were never being boring
We were never being bored

you'll 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
I'd bolted through a closing door
and 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
you'd 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 were never being bored
'cause we were never being boring
We were never being bored

Lyrics:
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
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
'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 you're not careful
you'll 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
I'd bolted through a closing door
and 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
you'd 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 were never being bored
'cause we were never being boring
We were never being bored

"Being Boring" is a song by the British pop group Pet Shop Boys, the opening track from their fourth album Behaviour.
As the second single release from the album, following "So Hard," "Being Boring" was not particularly successful upon release, only reaching number twenty in the UK Singles Chart and being the first single released by the group not to get into the Top 10 since "Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)" four years previously.
The song is concerned with the idea of growing up and how people's perceptions and values change as they grow older. The title apparently materialised after someone in Japan accused the duo of being boring. The title is also derived from a Zelda Fitzgerald quotation, "she refused to be bored chiefly because she wasn't boring".
Rated highly by Pet Shop Boy aficionados, in a 1993 interview Neil Tennant described "Being Boring" as "one of the best songs that we've written", and explained that "For me it is a personal song because it's about a friend of mine who died of AIDS, and so it's about our lives when we were teenagers and how we moved to London, and I suppose me becoming successful and him becoming ill."
