Intro
=====
Tux on, tux on, tux on, tux on, tux on
Verse
=====
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
Chorus
======
You had a tux on, you had a tux on
The first time you had a tux on, lucky man

E|-----------------------------------|-------------------------------------|
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

Verse (as before)
=====
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
