Sticks 'n' Stones Lyrics - Kings & Queens - Jamie T

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're as thick as thieves and wannabes 

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 

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, no 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, no 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, no 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, no 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 Joey 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, no 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)
