Beautiful South - Domino Man lyrics

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 fas 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 pulla 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 plack 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
