Domino Lyrics
If you never had it then
You don't know how bad it is.
There is nothing like it well
Needless talk then I can tell. Here comes the day I sit and wait.
Always always something.
The bills keep coming the car ain't running.
Now I'm coming home again.
Another day
Oh the mailman's on his way
Just sit and wait.
Always pondering my fate too late
Another day goes.
(BACKGROUND):
Dominoes are falling still, as I know they always will
Dominoes a test of will, dominoes
I bought them from you yesterday,
Little ??? that you have made.
No one minds I can tell.
Seems I've hit the ones you shall.
Am I the only one who thinks this song kicks ass or what?! It rocks so hard and Robby's vocals are so good. And when Johnny does the backup chorus, wow. It's probably my favorite song on SSCW. But I also don't know what the word in the third-to-last line is.
THE LYRICS ARE WRONG!
from googoodolls.com:
If you never had it then You don't know how bad it is Having nothing, liking it well Neighbors talked and, I can tell but
Here comes the day I sit and wait Oh it's always something The bills keep coming the car ain't running Now I'm thumbing home again Another day, oh, the mailman's on his way Just sit and wait Always pondering my fate too late Another day goes
I borrowed from you yesterday Lent a bunch to you last may No one minds I can tell Seems I've picked the wrong seashell but
Here comes the day, I sit and wait Oh it's always something The bills keep coming, the car ain't running Now I'm coming home again Another day, the mailman's on his way Just sit and wait Always pondering my fate too late Another day goes
Dominoes are falling still As I know they always will Dominoes a test of will Dominoes
This is my fav song off sscw. i think its about life being too predictable and boring "Dominoes are falling still As I know they always will". "Another day, oh, the mailman's on his way - Just sit and wait" Every day you go to work, to pay your bills, and then the next day you have to do the same thing "The bills keep coming, the car ain't running - Now I'm coming home again" and each day goes by like this. Oh and it could also be about going bankrupt: "if you never had it then... you dont know how bad it is" meaning to not have anything anymore…. And then theres the last line: “Dominoes a test of will” which could be interpreted as how much you are willing to continue this type of lifestyle, which everyone is encouraged to lead.
i LOVE this song! its the dominos part that is good and then robby is singing his part at the same time its great! they should do more songs together! like vocally
it really is so graet when johnny and robby sing together they need another album like this but to be bought out now it would go down so greatly! sscw was to far ahead of its time sad to say :( i love it best album ever by any band!
