I Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind Of Thing Lyrics

Ask me why,
I 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, (ta ra ra ra)
I say it started when I met you (ta ra ra ra ra ra)
And ever since then I knew that the past couldn't last
For right now, I think I'm running
A race that 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, I tell 'em 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 would normally do

Ask me what, (ta ra ra ra)
I say I think it's good for you (ta ra ra ra ra)
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

This song was written around the time Neil Tennant came out, so I always thought it was about the craziness and relief of him coming out. I don't think its a surprise another song on the album is called Liberation.

First off, I want to say this song is excellent. I've been a PSB fan for about 3 years now. On to the meaning of the song. What I get from the lyrics is that he's so head over heels in love that he is doing things he never had done before. Pretty simple and straight-forward song toward its meaning.
