Dominoes (or dominos) generally refers to the collective gaming pieces making up a domino set (sometimes called a deck or pack) or to the subcategory of tile games played with domino pieces. In the area of mathematical tilings and polyominoes, the word domino often refers to any rectangle formed from joining two congruent squares edge to edge. The traditional Sino-European domino set consists of 28 dominoes, colloquially nicknamed bones, cards, tiles, tickets, stones, or spinners. Each domino is a rectangular tile with a line dividing its face into two square ends. Each end is marked with a number of spots (also called pips) or is blank. The backs of the dominoes in a set are indistinguishable, either blank or having some common design. A domino set is a generic gaming device, similar to playing cards or dice, in that a variety of games can be played with a set.
European-style dominoes are traditionally made of ivory/bone, or a dark hardwood such as ebony, with contrasting black or white pips (inlaid or painted). Alternatively, domino sets have been made from many different natural materials: stone (e.g., marble, granite or soapstone); other hardwoods (e.g., ash, oak, redwood and cedar); metals (e.g., brass or pewter); ceramic clay, or even frosted glass or crystal. These sets have a more novel look, and the often heavier weight makes them feel more substantial, but such materials and the resulting products are usually much more expensive than polymer materials.
Dominoes
Cock Robin
Put all your sadness in a song
When the melody's clear
And the meaning is silly
Remember when I said
You don't belong
I am younger than you
And that I always will be
Down to the very last straw
We'll be making it
Or breaking it
Words they fall
Like dominoes
And girls
In the throws of anguish
Full of scorn
The day you were born
Hanging on like a saviour
Faithful onto yourself
I believe anything you say
I once had a picture of the past
It was crowded with shame
And was generally scary
Who was that boy behind the mask
Did you ever come clean
And which part did you bury
I've ever since been learning your trade
When I thought you were
On holiday
Words they fall
Like dominoes
And girls
In the throws of anguish
Full of scorn
The day you were born
I believe anything you say
Anything you say
Words they fall
Like dominoes
And girls
In the throws of anguish
Full of scorn
The day you were born
Hanging on like a saviour
Faithful onto yourself
I believe anything you say
Put all your sadness in a song
When the melody's clear
(Barrett)
It's an idea, someday
In my tears, my dreams
Don't you want to see her proof?
Life that comes of no harm
You and I, you and I and dominoes, the day goes by...
You and I in place
Wasting time on dominoes
A day so dark, so warm
Life that comes of no harm
You and I and dominoes, time goes by...
Fireworks and heat, someday
Hold a shell, a stick or play
Overheard a lark today
Losing when my mind's astray
Don't you want to know with your pretty hair
Stretch your hand, glad feel,
In an echo for your way.
It's an idea, someday...
It's an idea, someday
In my tears, my dreams
Don't you want to see her proof?
Life that comes of no harm
Sitting with the dog
Trying to clear the fog of a
Memory of the last time
That i saw her face
50 yrs of time an accident
Would take my mind and shortly
After take the wife
Away from me
Everybody knows
Memories will keep us alive
And some just wont go away
(just cant be erased)
But if i remember one today
Let it be of Grace
The catskills are all frozen
Playing dominoes and i can
Hear a voice reminding me
That i'm her hero
I can find myself able from
The chair across the table
To remember that it wasn't
Always empty
Everybody knows
Memories will keep us alive
And some just wont go away
But if there's a memory left of Grace
Let it come back today
I see her beside me
As the grandkids they remind me
That she's in the cemetery
That we played in as kids
They just think i'm crazy
But the things she tells me lately
It's an idea someday
In my tears, my dreams
Don't you want to see her proof?
Life that comes of no harm
You and I, you and I and dominoes
The day goes by
You and I in place
Wasting time on dominoes
A day so dark, so warm
Life that comes of no harm
You and I and dominoes
Time goes by
Fireworks and heat someday
Hold a shell, a stick or play
Overheard a lark today, losing when my mind's astray
Don't you want to know with your pretty hair?
Stretch out your hand
Glad feel in an echo for your way
It's an idea someday
In my tears, my dreams
Don't you want to see her proof?
Life that comes of no harm
You and I and dominoes
It's an idea, someday
in my tears, my dreams
don't you want to see her proof?
Life that comes of no harm
you and I, you and I and dominoes, the day goes by...
You and I in place
wasting time on dominoes
a day so dark, so warm
life that comes of no harm
you and I and dominoes, time goes by...
Fireworks and heat, someday
hold a shell, a stick or play
overheard a lark today
losing when my mind's astray
don't you want to know with your pretty hair
stretch your hand, glad feel,
in an echo for your way.
It's an idea, someday...
It's an idea, someday
in my tears, my dreams
don't you want to see her proof?
Life that comes of no harm
you and I, you and I and dominoes, the day goes by...
Steam was rising in the Asian quarter
When she stepped out in the street.
Voices dropped and every eye was on her
As she braved the midnight heat.
Dominique
she was a cool oasis
She could soothe rhe burning heart.
Dreams of passion written on their faces
One by one they fall apart.
Soldiers of fortune surrender like children
And follow wherever she leads
And they all fall down
it's one more night of -
Dominoes
dominoes
every heart is falling
But something else is calling her into the night
can't you hear me?
Dominoes
dominoes
I'm coming back to find you
Don't let the shadows blind you from love when it's mine.
To eyes that stared she never shared emotion
it's a secret that she keeps.
And no one sees the tears that I see falling
urgent whispers calling me.
Conquering heroes have soon fallen prey
to that far away look in her eyes
And ther all Fall down
it's one more night of -
Dominoes
dominoes
every heart is falling
. . .
And they all fall down
and they all fall down
can't you hear me?
Dominoes
dominoes
every heart is falling
. . .
Dominoes
dominoes
@very heart is falling
