GOOD TRADITION 

Tanita Tikaram 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

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? 

'Cos while all the rest have taken ime 

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 

'Cos 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? 

'Cos while all the rest have taken ime 

This didn't do a lot for you
