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
