Lyric Bad N Ruin

(Ian McLagan, Rod Stewart)

Mother, don t you recognize your son?
Coming home, cause I failed you Mother
I ll be there in the morning
If you ll have me back
The rent up here is much too high
For a room without a tap
I ll be early in the morning
And I ll find my way back home
Back home bad n ruin
With my tail between my legs
Tail between my legs
And I ll be so tired

I ll be early tomorrow morning
And I ll fall down off my plane
Don t be embarrassed mother
By your ugly worn-out son
Your ugly worn-out son.

Mother, you won t recognize me now
Mother, you won t recognize me now
Mother, you won t recognize me nowAnd I ll be down on Cannon Street
Passport in my hand
Should you not recognize me
I ve heavily made-up my eyes
Momma, you won t recognize me now
Brother, you won t recognize me now
Sister, you won t recognize me now
Mother, you won t recognize me now

So mother when you ve seen me
Don t forget I m your boy too
I know my brother has done you proud
He s one foot in the grave
Mother don t you recognize me now?

I m a burglar in the first degree
But it don t seem to worry me
I ll be so tired, so tired
I ll be so tired, so tired

So Tired
