Sticks and Stones by The Zombies

The Zombies are plain BAD ASS in this song! If there catalogue was full of songs like this they could have been more significant today. If a modern band covers this song, The Zombies would be instant geniuses!

This song alone puts them in line with the Beatles and the Stones, but I may be wrong as well. Great walking bass, steady drumming and awesome breakdown guitar solo! :)

People talk about breaking off
Can't let us be
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But talk don't bother me

People talk about breaking off
Scatter up my name
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But I'll never be the same

I've been abused
In my home
I've been abused
I've been abused right from the start

People talk about breaking off
Can't let us be
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But talk don't bother me
Oh, oh, oh

I've been abused
Out of my home
I've been abused
I've been abused right from the start

People talk about breaking off
Can't let us be
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But talk don't bother me
Oh, oh, oh

I've been abused
In my home
I've been abused
I've been abused right from the start

People talk about breaking off
Can't let us be
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But talk don't bother me
