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
