Dylan, fresh from N.Z. and not yet 18, was on the streets with his guitar and crack pipe busking for coin outside the pub. “We met him,” Paddy says, “when the Coopers Arms bouncer started hassling us to give the dude money".
Since then the band have spent their time re-fining and re-defining their sound, a mega-hectic, psychedelic, reggae that’ll have you trading your flat screen for a ticket to ride, surrendering your dignity to your urges, throwing shapes around rooms with people you’ve never met.
The Sticky sound is doused in textural, psyche-y and atmospheric melodies that push out the S.F. rhythm section’s blunt soundscapes.

Sticky Fingers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And a temper lost like crying tears in rain
No love is lost or no sweet wisdom gained
So save your tears then save yourself the shame
Cyclone
You're on your own
I could taste in the air a familiar sense of pride
And the wind, it blows, as you held your head up high
Then I saw the clouds draw storms into your eyes
Cyclone
You're on your own
Cyclone
On your own
He's my man but said, "Don't break him bones"
Out in the fire, won't leave it alone
It was bent and I was unable to pull him inside
So bring down them bridges, dig up them bones
What's that you got? 'Cause I'll have one of those
Darcy, I could never hate ya if I tried
Cyclone
You're on your own
Cyclone
You're on your own
Cyclone
You're on your own
Cyclone
Oh, thank you
Cheers

The song "Cyclone" by Sticky Fingers tells a story of a hurricane and a lost temper. The first few lines of the song describe the hurricane and its impact on people's emotions. The lyrics suggest that no love is lost, and no one gains any sweet wisdom from the unpredictable and destructive nature of a hurricane. The last line of the first verse urges listeners to save tears and refrain from feeling shameful.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become more personal, and the second verse focuses on a relationship between two people. The couple steps out of the house, and the main character could sense pride in the air. However, he also encounters a problematic situation as he notices storms in his partner's eyes. The chorus "Cyclone, You're on your own," suggests that the partner has got to face the battle alone.
The third and final verse talks about the singer's man who he is trying to save from the fire. However, he was unable to pull him inside because he was already bent. Therefore, he decides to bring down the bridges and dig up the bones. The song concludes with the character raising a toast, thanking somebody, and saying cheers.
In summary, the song "Cyclone" by Sticky Fingers explores the metaphorical aspect of a hurricane and draws parallels between it and the turmoil faced in personal relationships. The chorus "Cyclone, You're on your own," implies that individuals must face the challenges on their own and take full responsibility for their actions.
