{{|Pet Shop Boys - Being Boring (Tennant/Lowe, 1990)

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
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 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 |}}


곡의 뮤직비디오
패션사진작가로 유명한 bruce weber가 감독했구요. 이들의 음악과(그리고 가사 도중에 언급되는 개츠비의 작가 피츠제랄드와도)어울리는, 쿨하고 복고적인 분위기입니다. 역시, 호모에로티시즘도 약간.
그런데...기타 친 건 자니 마가 아니었던가요?_? kuroko
앨범 부클릿에는 이곡의 기타는 J.J. Belle가 쳤다고 표기되어 있군요(누군지 모름). 그리고 그 앨범에서 자니 마가 기타를 친 곡은 This must be the place I waited years to leave와 My October symphony(헉 명곡)입니다-Heather

Behavior에 수록된 첫곡으로 이 앨범부터 팻 샵 보이즈는 작가가 되기 시작했다는 느낌이 듭니다. 거북이가 생각하는 그들의 최고작은 Bilingual!
