Lyrics
TRAGIC TOM
He’s always in a sad state
Every day’s a bad day
For tragic tom
Everything is wrong
If there’s a silver lining
He’s never gonna find it
Where have your good times gone
Tragic tom
If only he could see
What a beautiful world this can be
All his friends and family
Wanna do is love him
Reach inside and hug him
A little smile is all they wanna see
Every morning he’s complaining
Swear to you it’s raining
When there’s not a single cloud
He puts his umbrella out
Don’t you ask for his opinion
That’s his dark dominion
You’ll never quiet him down
He’ll just go round and round
(Repeat B Section)
He’s always in a sad state
Every day’s a bad day
For tragic tom
Everything is wrong
If there’s a silver lining
He’s never gonna find it
Where have your good times gone
Tragic tom
Where have your good times gone tragic tom (repeat)
If only he could see what a beautiful world this can be
