The full-length version of one of the new tracks from Nicola’s upcoming album ‘Cinderella’s Eyes’, a song called Sticks and Stones, has today become available to listen to in full for the first time, accompanied with a video! It is the studio version therefore it will be the version that appears on the album!
You can watch the video below, and I’ve also written out the lyrics underneath.
What are your thoughts on the song?
Couldn’t you say I’m pretty?
Now that’s enough
Tells me that she hates the playground
How can they hurt, words are just sounds
So take your shot
I don’t want them to see that they’re making it hard for me
At home I cry
Bet that you think that you’re on your own
And you’ve no-one’s hand to hold
Sticks and stones
Hurt just a little
Wouldn’t it be wrong if we’re all the same?
Don’t surrender, don’t you change
Sticks and stones
Hurt just a little
Ooh, they hurt just a little
With all the mean words they’re ugly
Starting to see I’m lucky
And that’s enough
I’d rather be alone in my world
I’d rather be the girl that gets hurt
So take your shot
I don’t want them to see that they’re making it hard for me
At home I cry
Bet that you think that you’re on your own
And you’ve no-one’s hand to hold
Sticks and stones
Hurt just a little
Wouldn’t it be wrong if we’re all the same?
Don’t surrender, don’t you change
Sticks and stones
Hurt just a little
Too young to buy my own bottle of vodka
So I’d beg the driver please I need another
How funny that I was too young for so many things
Yet you thought I’d cope with being told I’m ugly
Over and over I’d read it believe it
Said no to the shrink I can fix me I think
I’ve got friends in my head they’ve got me on the mend
I am pretty in my mirror, easy to pretend
17 and thought that I’d won the jackpot
Seems I didn’t read between the lines of this one
I can’t think why I could of made you so, so angry
Your bullets I don’t feel them come and fire at me
Bet that you think that you’re on your own
And you’ve no-one’s hand to hold
Sticks and stones
Hurt just a little
Wouldn’t it be wrong if we’re all the same?
Don’t surrender, don’t you change
Sticks and stones
Hurt just a little
Ooh, they hurt just a little

I hate this song, it makes me cry. Actually, it’s the best song, it’s original, refreshing why didn’t she release this as the first or second single. This would make her album become a success. I love BOMD and Lucky Day but they are not as strong as this song. This song deserves all respect, hopefully it’s the third song.
