It sounds to me like "There's a one foot boy in every story sittin' on my shoulder" instead of eleven stone.

My Opinion

I'm pretty sure it's eleven stone, though it is a confusing line. A stone is a measurement for weight in England which is equal to fourteen pounds, which would mean that this small boy is 154 pounds. The way I think of it is that the 'one foot boy' is his conscience, kind of like the angel-devil scenarios. His conscience(or decision or what have you) is weighing on him like a heavy burden, which would explain the 'eleven stone' part.

Oh, I dunno, I just hear an "y" sound at the end of that line. I'm not sure what he actually says, but that's how I hear it. Maybe at his concert I'll be able to tell for sure hah

Yeah, I watched his mouth and you all were right -- it's stone
