Mick was talking about the album on a radio interview in the UK the day before the Twickenham show and specifically mentioned that LIND was written for 'Alfie' but wasnt finished. So THAT one I'm sure of. I was quite surprised by that one, personally.
As for the other two, I'm assuming SOL is a leftover from a solo project due to Matt Clifford's major involvement in it. Re: 'Biggest Mistake' - speculation on my part. The lyrical content of the song is just ideally suited to the story of the film. It strikes me as a 'made to order' song composed for the movie's central character, especially as his life unwrangles and he becomes more self-reflective in the latter part of the story.
The obvious analysis of Biggest Mistake would be to interpret it as a song about the breakdown of Mick's own marriage, but it would be a bit uncharacteristic of him to be so openly and literally self-critical as that IMO. He tends to be a bit self conscious about his lyrics being taken as literally autobiographical.
