Sticky Wicket
Tony Tuff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Coz disia cricket in a lover man style.
This girl, she has my ticket,
It's like i was batting on a sticky wicket.
Goog girl, she has my ticket,
It's like i was batting on a sticky wicket.
I was making run so freely, hitting every girl as a boundary.
I was making run so freely, that every girl started to rush me.
I hit Sandra before,
Every living long day she was knocking on my door.
All of a sudden, here comes a change of bowling.
I tried every stroke in the blob.
Believe me this this girl had my Goose cooked.
She bowl googly
She bowl upbreak
Believe me the ...at the sight of the ring
She bowl leg break
She bowl...
Key words there are.
Cricket - A game.
Sticky Wicket- A tricky Situation
Batting- Hitting the Wicket
Stroke- Defensive gadgets used to
Prevent the ball from hitting the batsman.
Making run- running after catching the ball.
Bowling- Throwing the ball towards the wicket
Blob- Batsman's score
Boundary- Perimeter of the ground.
Behind me like a Taxi- Small cabs used to ferry Cricket Fans to the
Ground(I yet don't know why most cricket
Fans love taxis). They normally arrive in fleets.
And those are all terms used in Cricket.
Thought you should know.
The lyrics to Tony Tuff's song "Sticky Wicket" are a clever play on words, using terms from the game of cricket to describe a man's tricky situation with a particular girl. The song begins with the catchy refrain "in a lover man style," immediately setting the tone for the playful and flirtatious lyrics to come. The first verse describes the man's previous successes with women - "hitting every girl as a boundary" - but then he finds himself in a tough spot with this one girl who has "his ticket" and has him "batting on a sticky wicket." The chorus repeats this idea, emphasizing the frustration and confusion he feels: "good girl, she has my ticket, it's like I was batting on a sticky wicket."
The second verse introduces the woman responsible for this tricky situation, with Tony Tuff singing "all of a sudden, here comes a change of bowling." He tries every trick in the book ("I tried every stroke in the blob") but she has him completely outmatched with her "googly" and "upbreak" bowling (two types of tricky deliveries in cricket). The imagery of her bowling leg breaks and leaving him "at the sight of the ring" finishing off his "Goose" adds to the humor and clever wordplay of the song.
Overall, "Sticky Wicket" is a lighthearted and fun song that uses the language and references of cricket to describe a man's romantic struggles. The playful tone and creative lyrics make for an enjoyable listen, even if you're not a cricket aficionado.

How about we correct the errors in the lyrics -
- goog girl = good gosh
- hitting every girl as a boundary = hitting every girl to the boundary
- i hit marriage for sex = i hit marrie for six
- behind me like a taxi = behind me like a ticks
- i hit sandra before = i hit sandra for four
- every stroke in the blob = every stroke in the book
- believe me the gem at the sight of the ring = believe me the dread had to sight up the ring
- she bowl duck the job = she bowl donkey drop
- All my ... really had to stop = all my hard hitting really had to stop
