Beautiful South - Domino Man Lyrics
(heaton/rotheray)Through ugly pints and sunday breathSit men whose stare is cold as deathThrough wide lapels and glued up eyesThrough made up kids and made up wivesSitting in the heart of themIs a man whos not like other menDont you know just who I amA nod, a wink, I am the domino man.And if you pull a double oneIll pack my bags and Ill be goneIf you pull a three and fourIm flying off to singaporeWhere women dance and tigers roarIm lying on a distant shoreIm living life just as as I canA nod, a wink, another drink I am the domino man.Through a twenty deep screen of humouristsThrough slavering jaws and angry fistsThrough tales of mishap and the clickety-clackIs fully paid member of the brother of the tapThrough heavy smoke and idle betsThrough heaving lungs and heavy debtsSits a man who knows he canA nod, a wink, I am the domino manAnd if you pull a two and a sixIll pack my bags and take that riskAnd if you pull a four and fiveTheyll never take this man aliveIll go far east and Ill surviveThe market streets Ill duck and diveIm living life as fast as I canA nod, a wink, another drink I am the domino manAnd when hes off to sail the seven seasHe just stay indoors or hides up treesHes been to places that youve never seenBut his mind is blank and his passports cleanBut if you pull a two and a sixIll pack my bags and take that riskAnd if you pull a four and fiveTheyll never take this man aliveIll go far east and Ill surviveThe market street Ill duck and diveIm living life just as fast as I canA nod, a wink, another drink, I am the domino man
