There’s a story in the North wind…
About a lad called Charlie…
Back in ’81, a young man’s mind,
With numbers, dreams, and restless time,
In Newcastle upon Tyne streets where the nights run free,
He found his place… he found his sea.
And high above where the river bends,
Stood the steel that holds old friends,
The Tyne Bridge called, and he answered true,
Climbed for the view… like young hearts do.
Oh Tyne Bridge Charlie… don’t you come down,
You touched the sky above your town,
With the lights below and the world so wide,
You carried the North in your stride.
Oh Tyne Bridge Charlie… we still sing,
For the fearless heart and the joy you bring,
Through the years, through the miles, through it all…
You never lost that call.
From cap and gown to roads unknown,
Coventry days, far from home,
Then seaside winds and laughter shared,
With Kev by the waves, without a care.
Down Ipswich way where paths entwine,
At Metier love drew the line,
He met his Beinzy, steady and true,
And life found shape… like it always knew.
Oh Tyne Bridge Charlie… time rolls on,
But the fire you lit is never gone,
In every laugh and every song,
That northern soul stays strong.
Now Malton fields and Yorkshire rain,
Years gone by but nothing’s changed,
James and Cormac by his side,
In their eyes… his younger life.
He still stands tall for Newcastle United,
Through every cheer, through every fall,
From Killarney green to Dingle shore,
He’s chasing that feeling… forevermore.
With the Bullwhippers, stories grow,
Taller with every pint they pour,
A loyal friend through thick and thin,
The kind you keep… your whole life in.
Oh Tyne Bridge Charlie… hear us now,
Every voice in every crowd,
From the Tyne to wherever you roam,
You carry your people… your home.
Oh Tyne Bridge Charlie… 63 years strong,
Still the heartbeat in the song,
And when the night falls soft and slow…
You’re still that lad we know.
Still that lad…
Still that climb…
Still Tyne Bridge Charlie…
