Beautiful South The Domino Man Lyrics

Domino Man Lyrics

(heaton/rotheray)

 Through ugly pints and sunday breath

 Sit men whose stare is cold as death

 Through wide lapels and glued up eyes

 Through made up kids and made up wives

 Sitting in the heart of them

 Is a man who's not like other men

 Don't you know just who i am

 A nod, a wink, i am the domino man.

 

 And if you pull a double one

 I'll pack my bags and i'll be gone

 If you pull a three and four

 I'm flying off to singapore

 Where women dance and tigers roar

 I'm lying on a distant shore

 I'm living life just as as i can

 A nod, a wink, another drink i am the domino man.

 

 Through a twenty deep screen of humourists

 Through slavering jaws and angry fists

 Through tales of mishap and the clickety-clack

 Is fully paid member of the brother of the tap

 

 Through heavy smoke and idle bets

 Through heaving lungs and heavy debts

 Sits a man who knows he can

 A nod, a wink, i am the domino man

 

 And if you pull a two and a six

 I'll pack my bags and take that risk

 And if you pull a four and five

 They'll never take this man alive

 I'll go far east and i'll survive

 The market streets i'll duck and dive

 I'm living life as fast as i can

 A nod, a wink, another drink i am the domino man

 

 And when he's off to sail the seven seas

 He just stay indoors or hides up trees

 He's been to places that you've never seen

 But his mind is blank and his passport's clean

 

 But if you pull a two and a six

 I'll pack my bags and take that risk

 And if you pull a four and five

 They'll never take this man alive

 I'll go far east and i'll survive

 The market street i'll duck and dive

 I'm living life just as fast as i can

 A nod, a wink, another drink, i am the domino man
