Being Boring
(tennant/lowe)
---------------
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

Inevitable
The setting sun as daylight fades,
before the dark of night descends.
Must paint the clouds in pastel shades
almost as if to make amends.
Before the dark of night descends.
Soft hues of various shades and grades,
make valiant efforts to defend
their last stronghold from darkness’ raids.
Must paint the clouds in pastel shades
in vain attempt which won’t extend
the closing of the day’s parade.
Today as all days has to end
Almost as if to make amends.
The night winds softly serenade
Mark the beginning of the end,
the fall of night cannot be stayed.

He that is angry without a cause shall be pleased without amends.
The Noose
So glad to see you well
Overcome and completely silent now
With Heaven's help
You cast your demons out
And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you off your cloud
But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're planning to go about
Making your amends to the dead
To the dead
Recall the deeds as if
They're all someone else's
Atrocious stories
Now you stand reborn before us all
So glad to see you well
And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you to the ground
But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're planning to go about
Making your amends to the dead
To the dead
With your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping
Your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping down (repeated)
Your halo slipping down to choke you now

Making Amends
We have learned so much from
The struggles overcome
We have gained some friends
Some have done us wrong
Cant you see, better make some room for me
What should we do, to live up to you
Why, why, why, why
You better live you life
What is wrong and what is right
Dont you talk too much
You got to back it up
Dont burn your candle from both ends
Now you gots to make amends
Imma see that sunshine surely ease my mind
Birds singin on a line
Made me feel so fine
Cant you see, better make some room for me
What should we do
To live up to you
Why, why, why, why
You better live you life
What is wrong and what is right
Dont you talk too much
You got to back it up
Dont burn your candle from both ends
Now you gots to make amends
Why

I have to say that it's very few countries that are willing to look back at its past and apologize for its act, or make amends for its act, as the United States had one.

Perfectionists
A perfectionist is a waste of time.
He will not commend unless he amends
What others did, to his satisfaction.
Applause and not purpose weigh his action

Wave A White Flag
Take off your shoes, hang up your wings
Stack up the chairs, roll up the rug
Savor the things that sobriety brings
Drain in the last from a jug
But when I hit the bottle, theres no tellin what Ill do
cause something deep inside me wants to turn you black and blue
I cant resist you, I cant wait
To twist your loving arms til you capitulate
Beat me in the kitchen, and Ill beat you in the hall
Theres nothing I love better than a free for all
To take your pretty neck and see which way it bends
But when it is all over we will still be friends
Wave a white flag, put away the pistol
Too many people just cant get kissed
But if theres nothin I can do to make amends, baby
Hope you dont murder me
Oh, was it all right, or was it okay
Ill make it all up to you someday
Oh, but you didnt have to laugh that way
Oh, no, you didnt have to laugh that way
Wave a white flag, put away the pistol
Too many people just cant get kissed
But if theres nothin I can do to make amends, baby
Hope you dont murder me
Gee, baby, hope you dont murder me
