The Proclaimers - In Recognition lyrics

Artist: The Proclaimers

album: Life With You


In recognition of a hundred million album sales
In recognition of your popularity
You take your gaudy prize from people you said you despised
You wear your self-respect upon your bended knees
In spite of all your claims
It looks like you're just the same
As every other clown who likes to put the crown
Before or after their name
In recognition of your service to the working class
In recognition of your party loyalty
You get an ermine robe and you declare when you are probed
You only took it so the missus would be pleased
In spite of all your claims
It looks like you're just the same
As every other clown who likes to put the crown
Before or after their names
Oh, vanity
It gets them one by one
Patronage and monarchy
And all they entail, rarely fail
In recognition of your bravery up on the stage
In recognition of your bank ability
You get to wait in lines with soldiers crippled by land mines
And you think it's the yanks, you don't get irony
In spite of all your claims
It looks like you're just the same
As every other clown who likes to put the crown
Before or after their names
In spite of all your claims
It looks like you're just the same
As every other clown who likes to put the crown
Before or after their names
Their name
Their name
Their name
