(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 whoand's not like other men
donand't you know just who i am
a nod, a wink, i am the domino man.
And if you pull a double one
iand'll pack my bags and iand'll be gone
if you pull a three and four
iand'm flying off to singapore
where women dance and tigers roar
iand'm lying on a distant shore
iand'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
iand'll pack my bags and take that risk
and if you pull a four and five
theyand'll never take this man alive
iand'll go far east and iand'll survive
the market streets iand'll duck and dive
iand'm living life as fast as i can
a nod, a wink, another drink i am the domino man
And when heand's off to sail the seven seas
he just stay indoors or hides up trees
heand's been to places that youand've never seen
but his mind is blank and his passportand's clean
But if you pull a two and a six
iand'll pack my bags and take that risk
and if you pull a four and five
theyand'll never take this man alive
iand'll go far east and iand'll survive
the market street iand'll duck and dive
iand'm living life just as fast as i can
a nod, a wink, another drink, i am the domino man
