I used to think he was saying something about Charlie having the sticks--eh i dunno. Thats not right and I have read that it's "child" not "Charlie". One thing though---"my heart starts beating like a big bass drum" is definetly wrong. It's --"my heart is beating louder than a big bass drum." It's a pretty clever song, one which the almighty Keith Richards saved when the rest of the band couldn't get it right.
