[ti: Sticks and Stones]
[length: 04:48]
[00:07.20]You and I
[00:10.87]Go together
[00:15.36]Like the mollar
[00:18.97]And the drill.
[00:24.37]Flesh is weak
[00:28.93]But darling, we know
[00:33.40]That the ego’s
[00:37.04]Weaker still.
[00:42.40]I’ve been hung,
[00:47.02]Drawn and quartered,
[00:51.53]Slowly slaughtered
[00:54.24]Like a goat
[00:59.64]By the tongue
[01:04.22]Of a woman
[01:08.76]Who just couldn’t
[01:11.48]Let it go.
[01:17.86]Sticks and stones may break my body
[01:26.89]But words can tear me apart.
[01:34.97]So be careful what you tell me,
[01:44.95]Spare a thought for my heart,
[01:53.08]For my heart.
[01:58.44]Broken bones
[02:02.02]Fuse together,
[02:07.52]Bruises never
[02:10.28]Last for long,
[02:15.67]But once they’re said
[02:20.14]Words stay spoken
[02:24.76]And hearts stay broken
[02:27.45]From that moment on.
[02:31.95]Sticks and stones may break my body
[03:11.70]But words can tear me apart.
[03:20.76]So be careful what you tell me,
[03:29.81]Spare a thought for my heart,
[03:37.07]Spare a thought for my heart.
