Tux On

(derek dick, mark kelly, steve rothery, peter trewavas, ian mosley)
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
Theres 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 youre touring stadiums, youve 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, nothings changed, you got a tux on
Lucky man with a tux on, youre still the same with a tux on
It was eyes down in the parlour, they prayed it wouldnt rain
A brother pulled his cuffs down to hide the blue-black vein
His razord 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
Hes always known his lucks in but now hes found the drive
Hes got a tux on, look at him now with a tux on
Hes gonna get one with a tux on, free admission with a tux on
Get it anyway with a tux on
Hes got a tux on the easy way with a tux on, tux on, tux on, tux on
