Cooper, Alice - Years Ago Lyrics






Here I go again up and down alone all my friends went home years ago
All my toys are broken and so am I inside mom the carnival has closed years ago ooh
I'm a little boy no I'm a great big man no let's be a little boy
For a little while longer maybe an hour no Steven we have to go back now
Isn't that our mom calling Steven Steven Steven come home Steven come home

Cooper, Alice Years Ago Comments
  1. M.... H....

    amazing use of sounds and lyrics to set a complete mental picture of desolation and loneliness.  I think Alice was smart enough to know how old radio shows painted a picture of the scene for the listener to understand what to do, just great stuff.

  2. c.... M....

    Omg i can't believe that he have songs like that and in general album like "Welcome..." and he is known because of his songs like "Poison"etc...........i feel bad that i never appreciate him because never dig him enough because of Poison........

  3. ~.... R....

    This . Song . Is . AMAZING . AND WHO EVER DOESNT LIKE IT THEY CAN SUCK MY TOES !- Wait what?..

  4. c.... ....

    Shit is my theme song....this and steven.. this what my pappy left me with... yall be safe.. you might end up wit some shit in the basement you dont wanna deal with

  5. M.... O....

    All comments are valid. But only those who live with MH and see and feel this neurosis can only scratch the surface. Some of us are in agony living with this. We are not a threat, please. Give us space and I know you can never understand. Be thankful for that. You don't have to live with battling your own fuckin mind every day. And knowing it's happening.

  6. A.... G....

    My 11 year old told me this is the song she wants to be murdered to, and I don’t know if I’ve ever been so proud and concerned all at the same time. 👀🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻👀

  7. A.... R....

    🖤💜🖤

  8. m.... ....

    I don't think this song is about a dangerous killer nor a locked up psycho. I think it's about himself. Artists are often sensitive children who as a result of that often endure more trauma. It always reminds me of another song of his: I never cry.

  9. m.... r....

    or is it that all stars are insane and are being used for entertainment and profit?

  10. m.... r....

    did cooper actually use cases inside the insane asylums?

  11. m.... r....

    dare I ask? why no ones confirming these realities publicly?

  12. m.... r....

    inside mom...broken memories we can regress to the womb

  13. m.... r....

    unborn baby memories

  14. H.... J....

    this makes me feel home and safe and i'm fucked

  15. J.... E....

    I played this trilogy in my car in 92 with my 6 and 8 yo nephews, headed to an amusement park. they had a crap time, and we left after an hour and a half. They had nightmares for weeks. My work was done.

  16. j.... m....

    Isn't that our Mom calling?

  17. j.... k....

    This the first time I am listening Alice cooper, beautiful

  18. T.... U....

    I'd forgotten that the last thing I remembered, I'd forgotten that the next last thing that I'd remembered I was supposed to have forgotten, the very same next last thing that I'd forgotten i was supposed to have remembered, that is, the last next thing I was supposed to be remembering that I remember I was supposed to have ONCE remembered, if you know what I mean, I think. Anyway...

  19. T.... U....

    I crapped my pants in 1974.
    This song makes me feel kinda funny.
    In muh tummy.

  20. t.... 2....

    I think the boy is dead

  21. �.... �....

    i'm home mama

  22. M.... ....

    Listening to all the songs on the setlist...

  23. k.... h....

    Thank God For Alice Cooper ! 🙏💗🙏Thankyou For Helping Me Look Deeply Into My Darkness And For Also Helping Me Discover The Light Within. I'm Forever Grateful !
    ✨💜✨ ☀

    k.... h....

    V E R Y G O O D ! ! ! !

  24. B.... D....

    Just a thought. But what if the entire time we have known Steven, he was an adult. And it all starts off as a series of flashbacks to him and his childhood nightmares that revert him to a childlike state. Then continue with later song with him clearly being fully grown and in a mental institution. ?

  25. J.... R....

    I didn't get to hear this album until 87.Useless info.

  26. J.... G....

    Isn't that our mum calling?

  27. G.... W....

    In a dream ,Hypnagogia, very akward ,sometimes can have a hole new out look on having a dream,😊😲

  28. B.... J....

    The song is actually about a pow in Vietnam during the Vietnam conflict who lost his sanity

    B.... J....

    Billy Jack really ? Tell us more!

  29. E.... J....

    isn't that our mom calling

  30. O.... J....

    Back in 75 i was 7/8 this scared me to death lol my big brothers were always playing this album.Its my all time favorite album ever 💓 an absolute classic .That had ya gripped within the first minute and got better with every track !a real gem of an album 👍

  31. H.... F....

    Halloween Horror Nights brought me here.

  32. R.... R....

    Who’s here becouse of needles and smiles

  33. T.... ....

    So creepy, i love it.

  34. M.... ....

    A man (Steven) in bed restraints in a mental facility locked in a medically drugged vegetative state eyes open staring into nothing wondering alone as his former child self inside his own damaged mind.There the world is in a blanket of fog and moves in slow motion memories of happier times are littered around but are corroded and broken down (the carnival and toys) the ghostly distant voice of his mother calling out his name (mother pleading in the real world for Steven to wake up).Steven does not want to wake up and face his hell that awaits him in the real world "No lets be little boy...for a little while longer...maybe an hour" "No Steven you have to go back now".The deeper mans voice is his voice of reason and his inner conscience of acceptance of the terrible things he has done...maybe.Just my thoughts.

    M.... ....

    very Imaginative. you really should be working with Alice on his next concept album

    M.... ....

    MrAdammassacre wow, that’s some really deep shit

    M.... ....

    Oh wow....it’s been 35 years since I’ve heard this song...I searched this because of Hollywood Vampires..and then..wow Your thoughts are ethereal

    M.... ....

    You're projecting. Don't blame that shit on me.

    M.... ....

    Or perhaps that hell you speak of was no doing of his own. Perhaps Steven was locked up for simply being declared beyond hope to fit in to society.
    ...Just my thoughts.
    People in general do suck after all.

  35. G.... F....

    A fun thing to listen for is the whistling- it's Happy Birthday in another key.

    G.... F....

    Grant Frederickson You twisted fucker, that is awesome!! Did you figure that out yourself? Epic win! You are a legend!

    G.... F....

    That's awesome

  36. G.... S....

    You forgot Trish Mc Kinnon as the mother in the credits

  37. M.... R....

    This + Steven + The Awakening is Alice's finest moment, IMO.

  38. g.... ....

    Someone disliked this???!!



    Seriously????

  39. J.... A....

    Creepiest song!

  40. D.... H....

    Something dark, sinister and deeply disturbing about Alice Cooper - but what an absolute total genius.

  41. I.... D....

    This and Steven really freaked me out as a kid

  42. J.... A....

    My sister bought the album 4 me 4 Xmas because my mother would never approve. Thanks sis!!

  43. s.... ....

    very very satanic music for a so called Christian  you can even here the wisperers telling you things

  44. T.... R....

    Anyone else feel themselves going mad while listening to this song?😵

  45. s.... c....

    this song still gives me goose bumps every time i listen to it since 1976 when i first heard it

  46. M.... H....

    GEEzuz. I forgot how entirely EPIC ROCK OPERAS were! Play on forever, you rock GAWD.

  47. J.... M....

    baddest acid-mescaline song EVER

  48. C.... P....

    In a dark, deserted carnival. Aimlessly walking around and around the the broken down rides.

    C.... P....

    The the broken borken down don ridges-s-s-s-s.... . . .

  49. L.... M....

    Is someone calling me

  50. p.... ....

    My brother got me stoned for the first time at 12 years old and played this album for me with black lights accenting all the posters in his room. When Steven played and the moms voice was calling, I was really freaking out, I thought it was my mom calling me. Guess it didn't help that my name was Steven and she was the only one who emphasized the (N) and didn't call me Steve. Loved Alice Cooper ever since. Thanks for the lasting memories and the never ending spiral of my sanity to the Abyss of what my life has become... I wouldn't trade any of my life's experiences.

    p.... ....

    Thats heavy duty man. Exciting and frightening. Be glad you were not on shrooms.

    p.... ....

    Sounds like a killer time, but it sucks that you didn't have the head for it. Some people really freak out on weed. My mom is one of those people who just could never get into it. I, on the other hand, am able to compose symphonies in my head when I do it.

  51. T.... ....

    Steven - an alter ego of an alter ego.
    Gotta love Vinnie !!! ;-)

  52. B.... f....
