December's Traditions Lyrics
December's traditions suck the last of summer from our cheeks
Draws the curtains, strips the trees
In so-called living rooms, Scottish pastimes come to roost
Love's labor's stained linen sheet
The ghostly body who makes his bed beside you
Is slowly losing teeth
The boy needs sunlight and a shot of modesty
He needs to get some sleep
It's not the answer sticky plaster on a shattered bone
What do you need, what do you need from me
It's not the answer, treating cancer like a cold
What do you need, what do you need from me?
After months of grieving, fuck the grief I'm leaving
Will you leave with me?
The blood loss, the towering cost
Mouth to mouth, tongue to tongue
The lick brings warm metallic taste
I can't correct myself, convince you
That there's no one else in volume, good news
If you want a saint, you don't want me
It's not the answer sticky plaster on a shattered bone
What do you need, what do you need from me?
It's not the answer, treating cancer like the cold
What do you need, what do you need from me?
It's not the answer, I'm just begging to be told
What do you need, what do you need from me?
If I had the answer, I'd write a book of what I know
What do you need, what do you need from me?
Draws the curtains, strips the trees
In so-called living rooms, Scottish pastimes come to roost
Love's labor's stained linen sheet
Is slowly losing teeth
The boy needs sunlight and a shot of modesty
He needs to get some sleep
What do you need, what do you need from me
It's not the answer, treating cancer like a cold
What do you need, what do you need from me?
Will you leave with me?
The blood loss, the towering cost
Mouth to mouth, tongue to tongue
The lick brings warm metallic taste
I can't correct myself, convince you
That there's no one else in volume, good news
If you want a saint, you don't want me
What do you need, what do you need from me?
It's not the answer, treating cancer like the cold
What do you need, what do you need from me?
It's not the answer, I'm just begging to be told
What do you need, what do you need from me?
If I had the answer, I'd write a book of what I know
What do you need, what do you need from me?

It's actually STICKY plaster on a shattered bone. That's what they call "band-aids" over there - "sticky plaster". So he's saying; it's not the answer, band-aid on a shattered bone. which fits the song and makes more sense once you know the word. (I used to live over that side of the world, so that's how I know about their name for band-aid.)
No he doesn't mean a plaster as in a band aid, hes referring to Plaster as the material for fixing a shattered bone, plaster is what they use to wrap round something if you break it, it goes solid and holds the bones together, he is saying that it doesnt help because only broken bones can be fixed by plastering it, not shattered bones. And in Scotland they call them plasters, they are not from America
