There's a good tradition
of love and hate
Staying by the fireside
There's a good tradition
of love and hate
Staying by the fireside
And though the rain
may fall
Your father's calling you
You still feel safe inside
And though your
ma's too proud, your
brother's ignoring you
You still feel safe inside
Oh, was this solo?
Was this yesterday?
Was this true for you?
'Cos while all the
rest have taken time
This didn't do
a lot for you
And the corner's
laced with memories
Tell you how
it used to be
Your mother smiles
The children play
and all the bad things
happen miles away
And strong feelings
never bother you
You hold your head up
while the rest of us try to
Oh, call the stations
Call the people
We all want to know
'Cos while all the
rest have taken time
You don't wanna know
Well, there's a good
tradition of
love and hate
Staying by the fireside
There's a good tradition
of love and hate
Staying by the fireside
And though the
rain may fall
your father's calling you
You still feel safe inside
And though your
ma's too proud
your brother's
ignoring you
You still feel safe inside
Oh, was this solo?
Was this yesterday?
Was this true for you?
'Cos while all the
rest have taken time
This didn't do
a lot for you
