JUEVES - LYRICS ("Pet Shop Boys - Domino Dancing")

- Pet Shop Boys - Domino Dancing
 
(All day, all day)
 
I don't know why, I don't know how
I thought I loved you, but I'm not sure now.
I've seen you look at strangers too many times.
A love-you-once is of a, a different kind.
 
Remember when we felt the sun
a love like paradise, how hot it burned.
A threat of distant thunder, the sky was red
and when you walked, you always - turned every head.
 
(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down.
(All day, all day) Domino dancing.
(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down.
(All day, all day, domino dancing)
 
I thought that when we fought I was to blame.
but now I know you play a different game.
I've watched you dance with danger, still wanting more,
add another number to the score.
 
(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down.
(All day, all day) Domino dancing.
(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down.
(All day, all day, domino dancing)
 
When you look around you wonder
do you play to win,
or are you just a bad loser?
 
(All day, all day)
(All day, all day)
 
I don't know why, I don't know how
I thought I loved you but I'm not sure now.
I hear the thunder crashing, the sky is dark.
And now a storm is breaking within my heart.
 
(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down.
(All day, all day) Domino dancing.
(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day, domino dancing) (x2)
 
(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down.
(All day, all day) Domino dancing.
(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down.
(All day, all day)
 
- Notas: La canción trata sobre el amor que un hombre siente por una mujer muy atractiva que va seduciendo a todo el que se le pone por delante. De hecho, a los ojos de ese hombre, es como si los hombres estuvieran puestos en fila al estilo de fichas de dominó que acaban cayendo automáticamente uno detrás de otra, como sucede con los hombres cuando esta mujer les hace caso.
Para el protagonista de la canción está situación es insostenible, los celos se lo comen, y por ello finalmente decide poner punto y final a esta relación que lo está minando.
Cuenta la historia que la canción está inspirada en un viaje del autor a la isla de Santa Lucia en el Caribe, donde por la tarde no había nada más que hacer que jugar al dominó.
- 1. “…score…” = El "score" es el resultado de una competición, lo que pone en el marcador, que en este caso es la cifra de hombres que la mujer protagonista ha seducido a lo largo de su vida.
