| The Whitlams – Charlie No. 1 Lyrics
| 13 years ago

This song is part of a trilogy (Charlie no. 1, Buy Now Pay Later (Charlie no. 2) and Charlie no. 3) that tell the story of Tim's best friend and former bandmate Stevie Plunder. This song in particular is just about the two friends and the good times they used to have. The ending is a hint of the troubled times that were to come - "and that's enough to care you don't fall off the rails" leads into Stevie's developing drug problem that is elaborated on in Buy Now Pay Later. Charlie no. 3, of course, then depicts the sad tale of Stevie's suicide in 1996, and how it affected Tim. I've always considered The Curse Stops Here as a bit of an epilogue to the Charlie trilogy, as it was written following the suicide of Tim's other best mate and bandmember Andy Lewis in 2000. It gives mention to Stevie in it, and just sort of wraps the whole ordeal up. It's a very sad topic. |

| The Clash – Sean Flynn Lyrics

I highly doubt he changed his name due to the song, it's likely he's just named that. The Sean Flynn that the Clash are referring to, however, is the photographer. "Sean Leslie Flynn (born May 31, 1941; disappeared April 6, 1970, age 28; declared legally dead in 1984) was an American actor and freelance photojournalist best known for his coverage of the Vietnam War." |
