Veteran is a term bandied about rather freely these days, almost as much as legendary but if any one band deserves that title in this country it is hardcore punk pioneers STICKY FILTH. After all not many bands in New Zealand can claim a continuous existence of twenty-six years (1985-2011).
2010 was a tough year for STICKY FILTH with founding members Craig Radford and Chris Snowdon both involved in separate serious accidents which saw the originally scheduled 25th anniversary release of FOURTH DOMAIN to be put on hold.
With both Craig and Chris back on the road to recovery, the release of FOURTH DOMAIN is now the perfect comeback for these hardcore punk legends.
Described as a powerhouse, with grim and brawny mid tempo buzzing bass lines, snotty pub rock vocals, jagged metallic shreds and head trampling drums, STICKY FILTH has graced the stage with bands such as the Henry Rollins Band, Bad Brains, Suicidal Tendencies, Motorhead and The Hard Ons.
They’ve seen musical trends come and go but STICKY FILTH have stayed true to a formula that passionate fans will always embrace. This new album FOURTH DOMAIN is 26 years of experience and undoubtedly their best work yet.
The first single HAPPY BIRTHDAY is true to their signature sound, as it celebrates 26 years of life on the road in a rock and roll band.
STICKY FILTH is Craig Radford - Bass / Vocals, Chris Snowdon – Guitar / Vocals
and Mark “Boot” Hill – Drums.

Sticky Filth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pack my things and get
On the road
Just when I thought
Things were going alright
She said that she was
Sick of me
Hanging around
Getting in her face and
Bringing her down
Just when I thought things were going alright.
No fixed abode
No fixed abode
No fixed abode
I ain't livin here
No fixed abode
No fixed abode
No fixed abode
I ain't living no where
It's only the gypsy blood
Comin out in me
I'm havin a look around
Now you know what it's like
To be on your own
An empty house
An empty home
I've got better things to do
With my life
Ya get on your knees and
Your trying to please
You opened up Pandora's box
And let out her bee's
I've got better things to do
With my life
I used her
I abused her
I tricked her
I bruised her
I loved her
I hated her
I made her
Cry herself to sleep
I seen the tears
On her pillow
Weep woman weep
You're pretty good
At diggin for gold
But when my
Money ran out
Ya left me in the cold
But all you did
Was dig your own
Grave deeper
Tired of all the
Things you said
Said I was gettin in yours
But you were just
Gettin in my way
It's you who needs to
Get your
Shit together
I used her
I abused her
I tricked her
I bruised her
I loved her
I hated her
I made her
Cry herself to sleep
I seen the tears
On her pillow

The lyrics to Sticky Filth's song Weep Woman Weep tell a story of a man who is kicked out of his home by his partner after she becomes fed up with him. The man, who has a "gypsy" spirit and no fixed abode, wanders around exploring the world with no ties or commitments. He reflects on his past mistakes towards his former partner and recognizes that he needs to move on to better things in life. The chorus, "Weep woman weep," is a powerful call to the former partner to feel the weight of her actions and regret her decisions.
The lyrics are a poignant portrayal of a difficult breakup, and the emotions that come with it. The singer is portrayed as a flawed character who has mistreated his partner in the past. He recognizes his mistakes and takes responsibility for his actions, but does not let that define him. Instead, he chooses to move forward and explore the world without being tied down to any one place.
One of the interesting aspects of the song is the use of the phrase "gypsy blood." This phrase highlights the singer's wandering spirit, and his desire to explore the world with no attachments. It also suggests a cultural aspect to his character, which adds depth to the song's themes of pain, regret, and exploration. The chorus, "Weep woman weep," is also a very powerful phrase that captures the emotional weight of the song.

She said I had to go
She insisted that I leave
Pack my things and get
Pack up my belongings and leave
On the road
Prepare to travel
Just when I thought
At the exact moment
Things were going alright
When everything seemed good
She said that she was
She expressed that she had become
Sick of me
Tired and fed up with me
Hanging around
Being present in her space
Getting in her face and
Being confrontational with her and
Bringing her down
Making her feel worse than before
No fixed abode
Without a permanent address
I ain't livin here
I am not staying in this place
It's only the gypsy blood
It's just my inherent desire to wander
Comin out in me
Showing itself in my actions
I'm havin a look around
I am exploring different places
Now you know what it's like
Now you understand the feeling of
To be on your own
To be alone
An empty house
A vacant residence
An empty home
A lonely place to live
I've got better things to do
I have more worthwhile activities
Ya get on your knees and
You beg and plead
Your trying to please
You attempt to satisfy
You opened up Pandora's box
You unleashed all the trouble
And let out her bee's
And exposed her anger
I used her
I took advantage of her
I abused her
I mistreated her
I tricked her
I deceived her
I bruised her
I physically hurt her
I loved her
I had feelings of affection for her
I hated her
I had feelings of animosity towards her
I made her
I caused her to
Cry herself to sleep
To weep herself to sleep
I seen the tears
I witnessed the sorrow
On her pillow
On the fabric where she rested her head
Weep woman weep
Cry, woman, cry
You're pretty good
You are very skilled at
At diggin for gold
Searching for riches
But when my
However, when my
Money ran out
No more money was available
Ya left me in the cold
You abandoned me in a difficult situation
But all you did
Your actions only
Was dig your own
Caused you to create your own
Grave deeper
Worsened your own already detrimental circumstances
Tired of all the
Fed up with all of the
Things you said
What you have expressed
Said I was gettin in yours
Claiming that I was bothering you
But you were just
But in reality, you were only
Gettin in my way
Preventing me from achieving my goals
It's you who needs to
It's actually you who must
Get your
Improve your
Shit together
Organize your life and priorities
