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, you had a tux on |
| The first time you had a tux on, lucky man |
There's a photo on the mantelpiece, 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 |
| Burning 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 symbolises 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 |
