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
