I generally gravitate to the music first before the lyrics. But as a writer, I still marvel at well-spun verses and choruses. This month, I’m joining the music Twitter community in #SeptSongLyricChallenge

Day 23

Now onto one of my favorite songs from the Pet Shop Boys. The duo peaked early, but I consider Please, Actually, Introspective and Behaviour all to be some of the finest synth pop albums ever recorded. “Being Boring” saw less commercial success than some of their big singles, but the track was laden with some of Lowe’s most pristine synth riffs and Tenant’s finest lyrics. The song looks back at growing up and observes the change of perspective and values in hindsight.

“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.”
