Cover art for Cheap Wine lyrics by Cold Chisel

This is about being down and out, living on charity, probably out on the streets of sin-city (Sydney) and spending the few bucks he can get on the cheapest wine possible to get out of it. His friend was lost to heroin. While he seats on the beach on the morning after, he re-plays what he shouldn't have done the day before... Jimmy Barnes looked quite the part in those days.... (wine and stubble included).
