First Stone - Sean McConnell

Could you spare me please*

If only just one day

Let me off my knees

'Cos underneath these clothes

I have a heart that beats

I’m not just flesh and bone

But go on, take me lower if you’re able

Kick me while I’m already down

While you sweep your dirt underneath the table

You know I’m not the only sinner in this town

So go on, throw the first stone

Come on, get the last word

'Cos it won’t be the first time

I’ve been on my own

'Cos if you think you’re perfect

If you’ve never been blessed

If you’ve never felt alone

Go on, throw the first stone

Tell me what it takes

For me to make you see

That you made your own mistakes

Is this your way to work through

The fact that you’re a lot like me

And I’m a lot like you

Go on, take me lower if you’re able

Kick me while I’m already down

While you sweep your dirt underneath the table

You know I’m not the only sinner in this town

So go on, throw the first stone

Come on, get the last word

'Cos it won’t be the first time

I’ve been on my own

'Cos if you think you’re perfect

If you’ve never been blessed

If you’ve never felt alone

Then go on, throw the first stone

And I guess you won’t be happy till I bleed

And I guess somehow that gives you what you need

Is there no one else that you can patronise

Maybe someone your own size

So go on, throw the first stone

Come on, get the last word

'Cos it won’t be the first time

I’ve been on my own

And if you think you’re perfect

If you’ve never been blessed

If you’ve never felt so alone

Then go on, throw the first stone

Go on, throw the first stone
