Ok, some of the clues were related to UK television so a bit unfair for anyone unfamiliar with that.

CLUE 6: Go back to clue 1 and stop trying to figure out who Eric is. There is more information in that clue

"neighbour" was a clue as well, it might have set you thinking about street addresses, I think Jer was on that path with the Juanita guess which mentions a Chelsea flat.

CLUE 5: It's a b-side itself but also has links to another b-side

it may be a lesser known b-side but a live version is on Rainmaker. It's connected to Charlotte '88

Ok for non UK television fans, this is an image of the TV show Countdown. The text "the origin" is the clue, as 22 Acacia Avenue has it's origins in an Urchin track called Countdown,


CLUE 3: It's lyrics contain a visual pun


The lyric sheets of early releases of TNOTB and Live After Death have the word "coming" underlined in the final line of the lyrics to suggest a juvenile double meaning

CLUE 2: It's not on a compilation album but is on a live album

Self explanatory, it's on LAD but not a compilation

CLUE 1: A near neighbour of Eric

This is another UK TV/comic book reference. In the kids TV show from the 80's Bananaman, the main character Eric became the superhero bananaman when he ate a banana. Eric lived on Acacia Road.
