Shot down by your bullets They shatter my faith and my bones If you listen, the words, they hurt They creep right under my skin, they cut so deep Can't you understand I don't want battles, battles, battles? And if you lay them in my hand I won't fight battles, battles, battles Oh, tell me why we work so hard to break these bones Can we try to lay down These sticks and stones? Sticks and stones We crash and fall together, so sad We don't remember why we are tearing us apart But I can feel the cracks, the cracks in my heart, whoa Can't you understand I don't want battles, battles, battles? And if you lay them in my hand I won't fight battles, battles, battles Oh, tell me why we work so hard to break these bones Can we try to lay down These sticks and stones? Sticks and stones Sticks and stones Sticks and stones Why does it have to be so hard to surrender? When we got nothing left, nothing left to lose, lose Can't you understand I don't want battles, battles, battles? And if you lay them in my hand I won't fight battles, battles, battles Oh, tell me why we work so hard to break these bones Can we try to lay down These sticks and stones? Sticks and stones Sticks and stones Sticks and stones Sticks and stones may break my bones Your words will always hurt me

about

International pop star, Nelly Furtado and U.K. based writing/production team, Metro have teamed up to release a brand new re-worked version of Furtado's single "Sticks And Stones" from her 2017 album 'The Ride.' The new "Sticks and Stones" single package features fresh new mixes produced by Metro along with newly recorded vocals by Nelly Furtado.

Metro's brand new version of "Sticks And Stones" came about when Nelly flew to London to collaborate on material for her last album.  She loved their fresh new take on “Sticks And Stones”, and recorded her vocal on it then and there.  While Metro's new take on "Sticks And Stones" contrasts that of the production on The Ride- a fun, lighthearted indie pop romp tangled with crunchy synths- Metro's production on Furtado's song re-invigorates the song with a driving house beat and electronic synths that take "Sticks And Stones" back to the 90's dance era.
