View source for Viva la vida/Domino dancing

"'''Viva la vida/domino dancing'''" is a cover song by [[LorD and Master]].  When Dan saw [[Pet Shop Boys]] live in 2009 during their Pandemonium tour, they performed a medley of Coldplay anthem //Viva la vida// and their own Latin-infused track, "Domino dancing".  So inspired by the mashup, Dan went home after the gig and immediately began working on his own version, which appears on ''[[Outcast]]'' and revisiting the track for ''[[Redux]]''.  Pet Shop Boys also released a 10-inch style mix of the track themselves on their EP, ''Christmas''.

==Lyrics==
 <nowiki>Watch them all fall down
Watch them all fall down
Watch them all fall down

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

Watch them all fall down
Watch them all fall down

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemies' eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead, long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls had closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
On pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you'd gone it was never
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

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

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh, who would ever wanna be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world</nowiki>
