Being Boring by Wendy Cope

[dsmsw]

This was news to me…although a part of me suspected that the person who inspired Jealousy also inspired Being Boring. Just adds more layers to the PSB mythos.

This is from the May 2024 issue of Record Collector.

Video Intro, "Being Boring”

“I came from Newcastle in the North of England. We used to have lots of parties where everyone got dressed up. And on one party invitation was the quote ‘She was never bored, because she was never boring’

The song is about growing up -- the ideals that you have when you’re young and how they turn out.

The Pet Shop Boys”

Being Boring

by Wendy Cope

‘May you live in interesting times.’ –Chinese curse If you ask me ‘What’s new?’, I have nothing to say Except that the garden is growing. I had a slight cold but it’s better today. I’m content with the way things are going. Yes, he is the same as he usually is, Still eating and sleeping and snoring. I get on with my work. He gets on with his. I know this is all very boring. There was drama enough in my turbulent past: Tears and passion--I’ve used up a tankful. No news is good news, and long may it last. If nothing much happens, I’m thankful. A happier cabbage you never did see, My vegetable spirits are soaring. If you’re after excitement, steer well clear of me. I want to go on being boring. I don’t go to parties. Well, what are they for, If you don’t need to find a new lover? You drink and you listen and drink a bit more And you take the next day to recover. Someone to stay home with was all my desire And, now that I’ve found a safe mooring, I’ve just one ambition in life: I aspire To go on and on being boring.
