Pete Doherty - Stix And Stones lyrics

rate me

I was 17 I had the warning, <br />

Abandoned country, all alone<br />

My home town's covered in snow, <br />

I left no corner turn unstoned<br />

<br />

Well here's a tale<br />

Tale I will tell<br />

Of Blood, lust, theft and oh sweet love<br />

And a many, many things that I do so well<br />

<br />

I will start from the end, the end<br />

So far away down.<br />

<br />

Then it goes... <br />

<br />

*whistles*<br />

They said that I was as good as dead<br />

And there was hope, but not for us together<br />

My friend, oh my friend, oh my true friend, my phoney friend<br />

Oh well you know that that's the end, that's the end, <br />

So far away down, down.<br />

<br />

Compared to some I had it so easy, <br />

But that mostly was an open tale.<br />

I had my share of the knocks whilst watching top of the pops, <br />

The hardest thing in the world.<br />

<br />

I did it all, now I'm talking to myself<br />

Skitzoid, fame on the run<br />

Don't look back into the motherfucking sun, <br />

All together now<br />

Oh you know that was the end, that's the end, <br />

So far away down.<br />

<br />

*improvises*<br />

<br />

Oh you know that that's the end, that's the end, <br />

So far away down.<br />

<br />

How about?<br />

<br />

Sticks and stones, <br />

Sticks and stones<br />

May break my bones, <br />

But your words really hurt me.<br />

<br />

Oh get me a mirror, get me a mirror.<br />

<br />

They said that I was as good as dead<br />

And there was hope, but not for us together, <br />

My friend, my friendly friend, thank you for the letter, <br />

It made me feel better.
