Vagrant Records' Before You Were Punk: A Punk Rock Tribute to 80’s New Wave is the label’s tribute to the 1980’s new wave movement. Blink-182 was among the several mid-90’s punk rock bands to cover a song on the album, and covered Generation X’s Dancing with Myself.
[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]
On the floor of Tokyo
Or down in London town to go, go
With the record selection
And the mirror's reflection
I'm dancing with myself
When there's no-one else in sight
In the crowded lonely night
Well I wait so long
For my love vibration
And I'm dancing with myself
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Oh oh dancing with myself
Oh oh dancing with myself
Well there's nothing to lose
And there's nothing to prove
I'll be dancing with myself
Oh uh oh oh
[Post-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
If I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But your empty eyes
Seem to pass me by
Leave me dancing with myself
[Chorus 2: Tom DeLonge]
So let's sink another drink
Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus]
Oh oh dancing with myself
Oh oh dancing with myself
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself
Oh uh oh oh
Oh uh oh oh
Oh uh oh oh
Mark!
Oh uh oh oh
[Post-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
If I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But their empty eyes
Seem to pass me by
I'll be dancing with myself
[Chorus 2: Tom DeLonge]
So let's sink another drink
'Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself
[Bridge: Tom DeLonge]
Oh dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
Oh uh oh oh
Oh uh oh oh
Oh uh oh oh
Oh uh oh oh
Oh uh oh oh
[Outro: Mark Hoppus]
Yeah, in a sweat
In a sweat
In a sweat
In a sweat
In a sweat
Sweat, sweat, sweat
Sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat
Wow, hey you look great tonight, uh that's insane, where'd you get that done? Yeah I've never seen a circumcision like that before, that's really great, you wanna dance?
