Intro

[Eddie Cochran]

Three Steps to Heaven Three Steps... x2

Verse 1

(Step 1...)

I'm getting old now I'm leaving my school now

And I just don't know how I'm in this dole queue

And even with my I.Q. there's no room for me

Except in a factory a building site ain't me

I wanna use my brain see and work creatively

I wanna be a rock star I know I'm gonna go far

Inside I'm always screaming, unless you see my dreaming

Up there I'm in my top gear, it'll be for real next year...

Chorus

[Eddie Cochran]

Now there...are three...steps to heaven... x2

Verse 2

(Step 2...)

She's only pregnant, I'm stuck in this flat and

There's no-one to recognise or even to realise

My full true potential, I'm someone very special

Tell me why are they living when they look so pointless?

I'm really so important, they're all just meaningless

Why don't they look at me and hear what I am saying?

I'm gonna be famous, maybe not today but

Certainly the next year, I won't be living round here...

Repeat chorus

Verse 3

(Step 3...)

...is in the bedroom staring at the sideboard

The kids are goin' overboard and she's in a bad mood

Sitting in the frontroom knitting up a cardigan

I'm just in my own world, I wish I could start again

Won't anybody help me? Cos time is moving quickly

The bills they get more frequent, they're fuelling up the arguments

It's all becoming so clear, there won't be no next year

That's the way the story goes

Well, time for an overdose...

Repeat chorus
