About this lyric:

Clouseau's "Domino" is a song that evokes strong emotions, both positive and negative. Released in 1990 on their album "Of Zo...", it's become a controversial yet undeniably catchy track in their repertoire.

The Allure of Domino:

  • Melodic Masterpiece: "Domino" is lauded for its infectious melody. It lingers in your head long after listening, a testament to its songwriting strength.

  • Melancholic Charm: The song carries a touch of sadness, a melancholic sweetness that resonates with listeners experiencing heartbreak.

The Flip Side of the Coin:

  • Uneven Album Companion: While "Domino" shines, the rest of "Of Zo..." is considered less polished, rushed to capitalize on their debut's success [MusicMeter.nl].

  • Wauters' Wobble: Lead singer Koen Wauters has expressed personal reservations about the song, even feeling "ashamed" of it [De Volkskrant]. This might influence some listeners' perception.

  • Cheese Factor: For some, the romantic lyrics might veer into overly sentimental territory, tipping the scales towards cheese rather than charm.

Live and Kicking:

Despite the mixed feelings, "Domino" remains a crowd favorite at Clouseau concerts. The audience readily engages with the song, proving its enduring power to connect with fans

Domino

it isn't long ago
i looks like the past
her name was domino
or she called herself so
she had in her eyes
the blue from rainbowes.
she didn't love clouseau
but she liked mozart and so.
by the morning
i was alraidy lost
it was good touch
i've got a weird taste
she didn't stay for long
didn't gave me an adress
her name was domino
domino or so.

she liked far countries
and godforsaken beaches
from waiting on godot
she had culture and so
there was something with her hair
it's hard to explain
it looked like moonlight
it must be imagination
than she said i forget you
even with smiling a little
"you'll get trough this
you'll be fine on your own"
it was hard to endure
but i went trough hotter fires
her name was domino
domino or so

she had in her eyes
the blue from rainbowes
she didn't love clouseau
but she liked mozart and so
there was something with her hair
it's hard to explain
it looked like moonlight
it must be my imagination

they say i'm tough
they say i'm a real shark
it only seems so
you can ask domino
in my life
never cared much about anyone
but i did care about domino
domino or so

in my life
never cared much about anyone
but i did care about domino
domino or so.

domino

't Is niet zo lang geleden 
Maar 't lijkt een ver verleden
Ze heette Domino
Of ze noemde zich zo

En zij had in haar ogen
Het blauw van regenbogen
Ze hield niet van Clouseau
Wel van Mozart en zo

En bij het ochtendgloren
Was ik al lang verloren
Het was echt goed raak
Ik heb een vreemde smaak
Ze is niet lang gebleven
Heeft geen adres gegeven
Ze heette Domino
Domino of zo

Ze hield van verre landen
Van godverlaten stranden
Van wachten op Godot
Zij had cultuur en zo

Er was iets in haar haren
't Is moeilijk te verklaren
Het leek wel maneschijn
Moet mijn verbeelding zijn

Dan zei ze ik vergeet je
Ze lachte zelfs een beetje
Je komt er wel doorheen
Jij redt het wel alleen
't Was hard om te verduren
Maar 'k ging door hetere vuren
Ze heette Domino
Domino of zo

En zij had in haar ogen
Het blauw van regenbogen
Ze hield niet van Clouseau
Wel van Mozart en zo
Er was iets in haar haren
't Is moeilijk te verklaren
't Leek wel maneschijn
moet mijn verbeelding zijn

Ze zeggen dat ik taai ben
Dat ik een echte haai ben
Het lijkt alleen maar zo
Vraag maar aan Domino
Ik heb in heel mijn leven
Om niemand veel gegeven
Maar wel om Domino
Domino of zo
