Information
Original version by T. Rex, covered by Morrissey live in concert.
This was released on the date of his Mother's birthday.
The song's recording date on the vinyl and Central's posts was erroneous.
The song was actually recorded live June 2, 1991 at The Great Western Forum (the venue's name at the time) and the error appears to be confusion around the US/UK dating systems.
Lyrics
I was dancing when I was twelve
I was dancing when I was twelve
I was dancing when I was...
I was dancing when I was...
I danced myself out of the womb
I danced myself out of the womb
Is it strange to dance so soon?
Is it strange to dance so soon?
Is it too wrong to understand
The fear that dwells inside a man?
What's it like to be a loon?
I liken it to a balloon
I'll dance myself into the tomb
I'll dance myself into the tomb
Is it strange to dance so soon?
Is it strange to dance so soon?
Is it wrong to understand
The fear that dwells inside a man?
What's it like to be a loon?
I liken it to a balloon
