STICK'N'STONES lyrics by Jamie T

ALBUM: Kings & Queens
List of  Jamie T Lyrics

When there's no one left to fight


boys like him don't shine so bright,


Soon as I see the dust settle


he's out on the town tryin' to find trouble.


When there's no one left to fight


boys like him don't shine so bright,


Soon as I see the dust settle


he's out on the town tryin' to find trouble.





I take a train again away from shame


And blame a city pained to see


a friend I hadn't seen since I was drinking underage.


I was a ten a day, how'd you say, little shit


White lightning, heightening all my courage, quick wit.


We wore checkered season wallabies


buttoned shirts and whiskey


mutton dressed as lamb a fan of bands



like The Jam Jam Jam Jam,


I don't know who I am, he said I dunno if I can


I said yeah man, you can-can.





When there's no one left to fight


boys like him don't shine so bright,


Soon as I see the dust settle


he's out on the town tryin' to find trouble.


When there's no one left to fight



boys like him don't shine so bright,


Soon as I see the dust settle


he's out on the town tryin' to find trouble.





Drunk and being sick, I feel like shit


I gotta quit I hope I haven't missed the last train


Gonna be stuck in Hampton Wick,


With the boys across the platform



Shouting "lightweight prick!"


anekatips.com


I'm a featherweight champion, cheap to get pissed


wish Candy were here with me, she'd deffa deal with it


tell 'em all to shut their mouths and go suck their mommas dicks


coz she ain't no she ain't that low, three fingers down


or the other two up, and I'll sing this proud.





Runnin' with believers, go time for fever



and I haven't got time for you either


with your sticks n' stones, sticks n' stones


I take 'em home on my own.


Runnin' with believers, go time for fever


and I haven't got time for you either


with your sticks n' stones, sticks n' stones


I take 'em home on my own.






As I travel down the track all my memories flood back.


We were runnin' at ease from enemies


and rushed back to your momma's flat


it's the only place but home I feel relaxed enough to crap


I know it sounds crude, but there's something in that.


How's danny doin'? Hear he's high flyin' and that


stockbroker in the city with a lady and a baby.


And Fee, is she free from the demons she had


Was it two months clean, routine to relapse.






Runnin' with believers, go time for fever


and I haven't got time for you either


with your sticks n' stones, sticks n' stones


I take 'em home on my own.


Runnin' with believers, go time for fever


and I haven't got time for you either


with your sticks n' stones, sticks n' stones



I take 'em home on my own.





She smoked all of your weed


that's why the loved ones out to leave,


Why when you take the lead they stab you in the back


'till you can't breathe, When you're bleeding on the floor


and no one hears your call at all


she screamed out to the party


you are sheeps and cattle






I was hanging out with Louie in the shooting gallery


when the news got through to me about you and Jeremy.


Pat on my back, and a swig on my brew


you're still my friend, it's impossible to hate you.


Cradle to the grave, I know we always misbehave


people latch down and then they rain on our parade.


Girls we love leave when we want them to stay



like today, remember, what shall we say?





When there's no one left to fight


boys like us don't shine so bright,


Soon as I see the dust settle


let's go out and find some trouble!





Runnin' with believers, go time for fever


and I haven't got time for you either



with your sticks n' stones, sticks n' stones


I take 'em home on my own


(repeat)
