Tux On Lyrics - Fish

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 

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 

He'd razored 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 off 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.
