Tux on, tux on, tux on, tux on, tux on

He has eyes down at the bingo on that lucky
friday night
The match was rained off saturday but the panel
came in bright
And on sunday your mates were toasting you with
champagne down the pub
And on monday you went to london to pick the
cheque up with your mum

You had a tux on, mmm, you had a tux on
The first time you had a tux on, lucky man

There’s a photo on the mantlepiece, when you
bought your first guitar
And your girlfriend came to see you when you were
the rising star
You knew your luck was holding when you filled
the local hall
The first time and the last time that you thought
you had control

You had a tux on, lucky man, you had a tux on
You got a tux on, tux on

Now you’re touring stadiums, you’ve let it go too
far
Standing with your manager, your back to every
bar
Blurning all your credit cards, chopping out the
pain
Crowding into toilets with a host of your
new-found friends

You got a tux on, nothing’s changed, you got a
tux on
Lucky man with a tux on, you’re still the same
with a tux on

It was eyes down in the parlour, they prayed it
wouldn’t rain
A brother pulled his cuffs down to hide the
blue-black vein
His razor’d more than lines out, they found him
just too late
The final performance, the main man lies in
state

With a tux on, look at him now with a tux on
The last time with a tux on, take him away with a
tux on

Somewhere in a tenement, in a well-thumbed
magazine
Someone finds a photograph that triggers of a
dream
The uniform that symbolizes the comfortable life
He’s always known his luck’s in but now he’s
found the drive

He’s got a tux on, look at him now with a tux on
He’s gonna get one with a tux on, free admission
with a tux on
Get it anyway with a tux on

He’s got a tux on the easy way with a tux on, tux
on, tux on, tux on
