Karaoké Good Tradition Tanita Tikaram

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 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

'Cos 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

Oh, was this solo

Was this yesterday

Was this true for you

'Cos of all the choices you have made this didn't do a lot for you
