[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
