#487 - Alice Cooper - I'm Eighteen - 1970
running recap for me - 3's=9, 2's=4, 1's=1
this one - ***
from the album: Love It To Death
Written by the band
Produced by Bob Ezrin, Jack Richardson
Chart action: #21 Billboard Hot 100
the band:
Vincent Furnier (vocals, harmonica)
Glen Buxton (lead guitar)
Michael Bruce (rhythm guitar & keyboards)
Dennis Dunaway (bass)
Neal Smith (drums)
Thought it would have charted higher, but that's respectable. It is the song I think, that broke him to the
mainstream. Interesting that Johnny Rotten used this song to audition for the Sex Pistols. The groups third album
with much credit given to Bob Ezrin for the success. He would hook up with them for many more. Love the black and
white white album cover, but even that brought controversy. Vincent had his finger sticking out of his fly making it
appear as if it was something else. Warner Brothers air brushed that out after the initial release. Give me a break
people, it's a finger. I do have one complaint about this song. It was recorded in 1970, and Vincent was born in
1948, making him 22 at the time. He clearly lied about his age.

Lyrics
Lines form on my face and hands
Lines form from the ups and downs
I'm in the middle without any plans
I'm a boy and I'm a man
I'm eighteen and I don't know what I want
Eighteen I just don't know what I want
Eighteen I gotta get away
I gotta get out of this place
I'll go runnin' in outer space oh yeah
I got a baby's brain and an old man's heart took eighteen years to get this far
Don't always know what I'm talkin' about feels like I'm livin' in the middle of doubt
'Cause I'm eighteen I get confused every day eighteen I just don't know what to say
Eighteen I gotta get away
Whoa lines form on my face and my hands
Lines form on the left and right
I'm in the middle the middle of life
I'm a boy and I'm a man
I'm eighteen and I like it
Yes I like it
Oh I like it love it like it love it
Eighteen eighteen eighteen eighteen and I like it
