(ian mclagan, rod stewart)

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

Ill be early tomorrow morning
And Ill fall down off my plane
Dont be embarrassed mother
By your ugly worn-out son
Your ugly worn-out son.

Mother, you wont recognize me now
Mother, you wont recognize me now
Mother, you wont recognize me now

And Ill be down on cannon street
Passport in my hand
Should you not recognize me
Ive heavily made-up my eyes
Momma, you wont recognize me now
Brother, you wont recognize me now
Sister, you wont recognize me now
Mother, you wont recognize me now

So mother when youve seen me
Dont forget Im your boy too
I know my brother has done you proud
Hes one foot in the grave
Mother dont you recognize me now?

Im a burglar in the first degree
But it dont seem to worry me
Ill be so tired, so tired
Ill be so tired, so tired

So tired
