Hey Steven,
what am I doing here?
I should have left school when I was fifteen
And got a job as an apprentice bricklayer
Weekends of beer and football
Would have made a man out of me
Nothing lay beyond that
As far as I could see
Hey Steven,
I'm leaving Brisbane
Hey Steven,
where did I go wrong?
I should have had a girl pregnant when I was eighteen
And been married with a kid before too long
But the future age assembly line never had a hold on me
And when GMH shut down its plans there was no redundancy
Hey Steven,
I'm leaving Brisbane
Well I'm leaving this town
I'm leaving my friend But this is not the end,
it's the beginning
Doo doo doo doo,
la la la Doo,
la la la, doo
Hey Steven,
what am I doing now?
I'm just scratching out the words to another
song And trying to make ends meet somehow
Well I could have planned a future
I could have had security
Along with the morning papers and the milk delivery
Hey Steven,
I'm leaving Brisbane Hey Steven,
I'm leaving Brisbane
I'm leaving
Brisbane Hey Steven,
I'm gone
