I Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind of Thing (7" version; 2023 Remaster) Songtext
von Pet Shop Boys

Ask me why
I′ll say it's most unusual
How can I even try to explain
Why today I feel like dancing?
Singing like lovers sing

When I wouldn′t normally do this kind of thing
I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing

Ask me when
I'll say it started when I met you
And ever since then, I knew that the past couldn′t last
For right now, I think I′m running
A race I know I'm gonna win

And I wouldn′t normally do this kind of thing
I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing


If people say I′m crazy
Tell them that it's true
Let them watch with amazement
Say it won′t last beyond breakfast, it's a phase he's going through
Denigrate or speculate on what I′m going through
Because it isn′t the sort of thing I'd normally do

Sort of thing I′d normally do

Sort of thing I'd normally do

Ask me what
I′ll say I think it's good for you
Believe it or not, I know where it′s all leading to
I feel like taking all my clothes off
Dancing to The Rite of Spring

And I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing
I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing
I wouldn′t normally do this kind of-
This kind of thing

I wouldn′t normally do this kind of thing
I wouldn't normally do this kind of-
This kind of thing
This kind of thing
This kind of thing
This kind of, this kind of thing
