Faces, The - Bad 'N' Ruin Lyrics
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
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
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 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
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

Faces, The Bad 'N' Ruin Comments
When I play the toilet seat it doesn't sound anywhere near as good as this.
3:13 my personal trip to that drumming, kills me! Beautiful, love the way it’s recorded
One of the faces finest tracks proper rock band
When ever I see The Faces I think yep top draw but how good would it of been with Marriott on vocal duties.
0:00 -- Uh, Ronnie, uh, you got a piece of ... uh, toilet paper... uh, stuck on...uh...Oh, I get it now! It's MEANT to be a toilet seat.... hah!
To have seen them live would've been a dream that I can never fulfill. Thankfully we have YouTube to dream with.
Vocals Live. Not Music
T.O.T.P. REMEMBER THIS ONE R.LANE SINGING RICHMOND PRIER TO THIS AWESOME
I'm completely shocked that no one has mentioned ronnie's toilet seat guitar...
Noah Desimone me too
probably from BBC4 Live at the BBC
Who is Cynthia? He sings of her many times.
Brilliant what good music we had then i feel sorry for todays kids there ent nothing like this today
Ronnie's Toilet Seat Guitar ! ! !
You come here to..
Tune and a half!!
Love Ron Wood's guitar.... hahaha
👌🏻
Either Top of the Pops or Old Grey Whistle Test.
Marco polo
Sopranos, so awesome.
that dudes guitar looks like a toilet seat with toilet paper hanging from it
... why do you suppose that is?
Early rod
Seems rockn rods voice has no power but still a goodie
Not a friggin’ wrinkle on Woody’s face. Damn me and Woody are old.
Top tune!!
For such a small guy, Kenney adds such a BIG sound to this band. RIP Mac and Ronnie Lane. We luvs ya.
Great sound here, agreed. But he WASN'T big enough for The Who unfortunately....
Fuckin Ronnie and that toilet seat guitar!
everyone full of talent not like todays rubbish
Its..... tony right?
Ronny Wood, 'ow you doin da'lin'!?
Know the wonder he was knighted what a song
a truly great band
Who gonna fill their shoes?
Kenny on them drums.so tight.
Sopranos - "Marco Polo" episode brought me here.
Me too, just now.
Fucking Janice
HAHA! Such a classic scene...
I dunno, the stonemason is dyslexic.
@steve zisk The whirlwind of chaos!
Wow. Thought that guy was playing a toilet seat cover.
Can't move for great rock n roll in that era
TOTP when they used to have an album track each week
Rod Stewart pre spandex leopard print, was a total boss rock n roll singer.
Danny Oswaldo Leo
Rod Stewart is a boss. He's a tremendous blues singer.
@Kevin Mills
Kev knows.
Pure brilliance.. Three piece is just the coolest of cool
It was originally TOTP. It was reshown a lot over the last few years as part of the BBC4 Totally British:70s Rock And Roll series: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01r3pm9
Wasn't Ronnie Laine sooooo cool, though?
Ted Bruning Yes.
R.I.P Ronnie. One of the most underrated artists of all time!
That thing on his face sure has grown.
Absolutely brilliant. Love this song so much.
is Ronnie playing a toilet seat guitar with toilet paper hangin from it ??? SHIT !!!
yea he is and its top of pops
maybe top of the poops
Yep he is playin the Shitar
So that's where my guitar went.....
This Sounds and Looks Better than it Did when I was A Teenager!!!! Awesome Rockin"" well done ROD&Boys tc
I only came across this recently - bloody good, just ignore the pratting about. They had some great tracks around this time. You Wear It Well, Maggie May, Stay With Me etc. Good nostalgia.
Top of the Pops UK Album chart section nuff said!
Fantastic track by The Faces and a great testimony to Ian McLagan.
We sure miss Mac. xo
RIP Ian McLagan
RIP Ian Mclagan
RIP Joey Peeps
as Martin says below from TOTP it was featured on the "Album Tracks" section on the show broadcast on 29.04.71
Definitely TOTP-remember watching it.They introduced an "album " slot during the early 1970's which didn't last long-each week an artist would showcase a couple of tracks off their latest "Long Player"-Faces did Richmond & this off Long Player.
Great british group.. with Rod Stewart on vocals, Ronnie Wood on guitar, Ronnie Lane on bass, Kenney Jones on drums and Ian McLagan on the piano..
Rod Stewart is a fuckin machine!

100% definitely TOTP. What Jim says below is spot on. A few years ago BBC Four did a programme devoted to Ronnie Lane and his various BBC performances. This was shown as Jim says preceded by RL singing "Richmond" from their "Long Player" LP. They even showed the presenter link before it (done by Tony Blackburn). The LP slot was something only done in 1971 and was short lived.
it is top of the pops. they had an lp slot - the faces played two tracks from long player - this was preceded by ronnie lane singing richmond
Thanks ... that makes sense! This video has been uploaded by others and some say TOTP but I think you are right.
Fantastic performance either way.
Nope! not on Top Of The Pops, it wasn't a single. They only did singles on TOTP. It was a Beeb Saturday evening special apparently.
So..tired.
Ron Wood seems to be on pot:)
100% TOTP.
The Faces recorded the backing track earlier and mimed to it, with Rod singing live, when they were filming...hence the lack of leads in guitars. Wouldn't have mattered in Ron Woods' case as his Toilet Seat guitar didn't work anyway - it was put together as a joke.
I think this was on Top of the Pops originally, but I might be wrong.
