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
