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

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

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..
