Tux On

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 check 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 parlor,

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
