about

Work for work's sake is not a valid argument.

lyrics

It doesn’t take a lot to live his life
He doesn’t see the value in endless strife
He just needs enough to sing and play his guitar
He reads about his heroes in magazines
And meets them all in his endless dreams
He needs to be careful of the things he’s wishing for.

‘Cos nothing is ever quite what it seems
He’s just another boy with a broken dream
He’s just another boy who’ll never find his dream

He’s looking to get across town today
Because his mother needs him to pay his way
But his thoughts are all of notes and rhymes and words
The job they give him is stacking shelves
And they tell him it’s good for his mental health
But within a week it will be driving him insane

‘Cos nothing is ever quite what it seems
The boss at his work is a crook and a thief
But he wines and dines the mayor on Saturdays

All the passion in this boy, all the wonder in his dreams
They will crush him ‘til he can’t remember
All the fire in his heart, all the stories he could tell
They will crush him ‘til he can’t remember

He’s looking to get across town today
Because his mother needs him to pay his way
She’s got problems that he really can’t imagine
She’s got a new man and he beats her up, she’s doing her best to cover up. She tries to explain but why should he understand?

That nothing is ever quite what it seems
He’s just another boy with a broken dream

The Charlie Tipper Rebellion (aka Arrest! Charlie Tipper) image

The Charlie Tipper Rebellion (aka Arrest! Charlie Tipper) Bristol, UK

The band began life as The Charlie Tipper Experiment in 2013, releasing an album and a clutch of singles for Breaking Down Recordings.

In 2015 the band became The Charlie Tipper Conspiracy for no real reason other than they thought it would be a good idea to keep people guessing as to what they were up to.

This happened again in December 2017 when the band became Arrest! Charlie Tipper.. ... more
