Lyrics:

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

Oh, was this solo?

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

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 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

'cause while all the rest have taken time

You don't want to 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

Songwriter: Tanita Tikaram

Oh, was this solo?

Was this yesterday?

Was this true for you?

'cause of all the choices you have made

This didn't do a lot for you
