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
