Squeeze - Domino lyrics

(Difford/Tilbrook)

I knew that I had drunk too much

I had passed my drink degree

I climbed into my rented car

I was happy as could be

Then I pulled out of the driveway

And the lights began to blur

Within a mile the car was stopped

By a police officer - she said

"Did you see the light was red?

Did you see the light at all?"

Then I fell into her open arm

And that's all that I recall

I knew that I had danced before

But it never made the news

Surprised to find my two left feet

In John Travolta's shoes

I hogged the space around a girl

I found so full of verve

Then I moved in slowly for the kill

And watched her body swerve,

She said "did you know I'm not impressed

With the way you dance at all"

Then I fell into her open arms

And that's all that I recall

Blacked out and wasted

I had to be persuaded

With my view a little jaded

That I was about to go

Down like a domino

I knew that I had said too much

But tact was not my way

Tears were on her bottom lip

She had nothing more to say except

"Did you know this love we have

has made me feel so small"

then I fell into her open arms

and that's all that I recall
