Tanita Tikaram - Good Tradition lyrics

There’s a good tradition of love and hate

Standing by the fireside

There’s a good tradition of love and hate

Standing by the fireside

And though the rain may fall, your father’s calling you

You still feel safe inside

And though you 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?

‘Cause while all the rest have taken time

This didn’t do a lot for you

And the corners laced with memories

Tell you how it used to be

Your mother smiles, the children play

And all the bad hings happen miles away

And strong feelings never bother you

You hold your head up while the rest of us try to

Oh, call the sations, call the people

We all want to know

‘Cause while all the rest have taken time

You don’t wanna know

Well, there’s a good tradition of love and hate

Standing by the fireside

There’s a good tradition of love and hate

Standing by the fireside

And though the rain may fall, your father’s calling you

You still feel safe inside

And though you 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?

‘Cause while all the rest have taken time

This didn’t do a lot for you
