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 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 of all the choices you have made
|
This didn't do a lot for you
|
