Bad 'n' Ruin Lyrics - 1970-1975: You Can Make Me Dance, Sing Or Anything... - Faces

Mother, don't you recognize your son? 

Coming home, yeah, yeah 

Take me 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 

A room without a tap, whoo 

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 so tired, now, listen 

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 

So just let me warn you 

Mother, you won't recognize me now 

Mother, you won't recognize me now 

Mother, you won't recognize me now 

And I'll be down on Cannon street 

Passport in my hand 

Should you not recognize me, I've heavily made-up my eyes 

Mama, you won't recognize me now 

Brother, you won't recognize me now, oh lordy 

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
