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.
These Girls
Sticky Fingers Lyrics

I'll be thinking 'bout you, babe, I'll be thinking 'bout you, babe
Even when she smiles, I'll be thinking 'bout you
I'll be thinking 'bout you, babe, I'll be thinking 'bout you, babe
Even when I look discretely down into her eyes
You know I'm thinking about that time I spent between your thighs
Even then I wondered deeply through your glances
When I'm lying in her arms, I'll be thinking 'bout you
I'll be thinking 'bout you, babe, I'll be thinking 'bout you, babe
And even when she cries, I'll be thinking 'bout you
I'll be thinking 'bout you, I'll be thinking 'bout you, babe
Even though I only see you on the TV screen
With all those boys and your toys and your pleasured scream
I'll easy spend up all this loving for my dream girl
I don't want to share
When I'm lying in her arms, I'll be thinking 'bout you
I'll be thinking 'bout you, babe, I'll be thinking 'bout you, babe
And even when it's quiet, I'll be thinking 'bout you
I'll be thinking 'bout you, babe, I'll be thinking 'bout you, babe
I'm in love with that girl on page sixteen
Centrefold in that old paper magazine
Even when under these circumstances
Her curves don't compare
I'll be thinking 'bout you
I'll be thinking 'bout you
When I'm lying in her arms, I'll be thinking 'bout you
I'll be thinking 'bout you, babe, I'll be thinking 'bout you, babe
When you're with that other guy, I hope you're thinking 'bout me
I hope you're thinking 'bout me, babe, 'cause I'm thinking 'bout you
The lyrics of Sticky Fingers' song These Girls depict a man who is involved with another woman, but cannot stop thinking about a past lover. He admits that even when he is in the arms of his current partner, he cannot help but think about the previous woman he was with. He reminisces about intimate moments he shared with her and how she made him feel. He continues to think about her, even when he sees her on the TV screen or when he is with a different woman.
The lyrics reveal a sense of longing, regret, and hesitation in the man's emotions. He doesn't want to share his love, but he cannot stop thinking about the previous relationship he had. He acknowledges that the current woman in his life will never care for him as deeply as his past love did. Despite this realization, he can't let go of the memories and the emotions attached to his past relationship.
Furthermore, these lyrics also demonstrate the infatuation the man has with another girl on page sixteen of an old magazine. He reveals that even under the circumstances, her curves can't compare. This further reveals the depth of the man's desire for the past lover and how he can't seem to move on from her.

My boyfriend passed away a few months ago almost exactly to date. We had a 3 month break somewhere in between our relationship. Once we reconnected, he would play this song on long drives while holding my hand, kissing my hand and looking me in the eyes. He had made it clear that I was who he loved and never wanted to let go of again when we would talk about it. Just woke up from a beautiful dream of him and this song played in the background of my mind the entire time and I woke up with the beginning lyrics. I know it was him visiting me there, i cried tears of joy this morning since that's the only place he can still meet me, in my dreams.. I love you my love 💙
@gerardososa9537
He is still alive in somewhere over the rainbow. He just crossed the the path before us. Blessing 🙌
@phoebesanders7793
