At Seventeen i used to lie in Bed
wasting time working things out in my hEAD
had enough of the life i`d seen
left my Home when i was Seventeen

at Eighteen i was living in a Dream
getting on in the Music Scene
no one could stop me i knew which way to go
but where was i going well i didn`t really know

CH
life`s a Bitch if you know what i mean
leaving Home when you`re Seventeen
life on the Dole ain`t no Rock n Roll
packed my Bags and i was down the Road

at Nineteen it was no longer a Dream
my Dream became reality
seeing the World
and Places i`d never seen
Rock n Roll life is the Life for me

CH
my Life was a Bitch if you know what i mean
said goodbye to my Folks at Seventeen
Life on the Dole was no Rock n Roll
had to get away from the Hell hole
