Pretty Woman, Your Time Is Done

Pretty woman, with golden hair
Perfect style, a timeless glare
For decades strong, a symbol bright
But now your reign fades into night.

Ice-blue eyes, so lost, so cold
Trapped inside the web you hold
Your voice is calm, your words are steel
Yet old beliefs refuse to heal.

Pretty woman, the world keeps turning
The flames of old are burning low
Pretty woman, the voices rising
A fire new begins to glow.

Standing tall in your ironed suit 
But time has left its bitter root
Lines and scars upon your face
They show the cracks you can't erase.

Your empire crumbles, piece by piece
No one longs for your release
Your iron law sounds dull and weak
The young ones rise, they dare to speak.

Pretty woman, the world keeps turning
The flames of old are burning low
Pretty woman, the voices rising
A fire new begins to glow.

Pretty woman, your time is done
Your fading light, your setting sun
Surrender now before you fall
Pass the torch, embrace the call.

For on the horizon, bright and strong
A fire burns, a brand-new song
The world demands a different way
Pretty woman, your yesterday.

RITA SPATOLA (Lyrics) Song for Rita

WELL IF YOU HAVE PLAN TO MOTOR WEST
TRAVEL MY WAY THAT’S THE BEST
TAKE THE HIGHWAY GET YOUR KICKS
OUT ON ROUTE 66  

WE SAID IT ONCE WE CAN SAY TWICE
3 BLIND MICE AFTER A FARMER’S WIFE

LET’S CHANGE OUR PLANS I SUGGEST
AND TRAVEL EAST INSTEAD OF WEST
SWITCH THE SUN OF SAN ANTONE
WITH THE DRIZZLE AND MIST OF BRIGHTON  

WE’VE SAID IT ONCE WE CAN SAY IT THRICE
3 BLIND MICE WITH A CARVING KNIFE
ROLL ON THE DICE

THANK YOU BERRY FOR YOUR LICKS
THANK YOU GARY FOR YOUR KICKS
WE’RE ALL KIDS OF THE WIDOW WITH A SHAWL
BEING MATES IS SUCH A BALL  

3 BLIND MICE AND A TAG WITH NO PRICE
DID YOU EVER SEE SUCH A THING IN YOUR LIFE ?

GONE FROM MISSOURI
AVEC MA SOURIS
DESTINATION POURRY DOWNTOWN LE PARADIS 
UN TOUR PAR LA MAIRIE ET CHOPER LE FERRY 
SI ON L’A FAIT BEFORE ON PEUT LE FAIRE ENCORE

3 BLIND MICE ON A GRAIN OF RICE
WHERE YOU AND I TOGETHER ARE ENGRAVED FOR LIFE

THERE’S MANY A ROADS 66
FIND YOUR OWN MAKE YOUR PICK
AS LONG AS THE ROAD HAS NO END
BUT GOOD OLD FRIENDS ARE UP AROUND THE BEND

PEACE AND LOVE AND SUGAR AND SPICE
EVERLASTING CHILDHOOD WITH 3 BLIND MICE

BUT IF YOU HAVE PLAN TO MOTOR WEST
TRAVEL MY WAY THAT’S THE BEST
TAKE THE HIGHWAY GET YOUR KICKS
OUT ON ROUTE 66  

HAIL HAIL ROCK N’ROLL
BEING MATES IS SUCH A BALL
COS THE HIGHER WE GET THE SOFTER WE FALL

SEE HOW THEY RUN














3 BLIND MICE (Lyrics) + Gary Reeves on drums and Barbara Browning ad. vocals

I'VE BEEN UP I'VE BEEN DOWN
I'VE BEEN FOOLING ALL AROUND
FROM THE TOP OF THE WORLD TO THE GROUND

I'VE BEEN SEEN WITH NO SOUND
A HAS BEEN NOWHERE BOUND
I'VE BEEN LOST AND BABY I'VE BEEN FOUND

I'VE BEEN UP I'VE BEEN DOWN
I'VE BEEN FOOLING ALL AROUND
FROM THE TOP OF THE WORLD TO THE GROUND

I'VE BEEN UP I'VE BEEN DOWN
I'VE BEEN FOOLING ALL AROUND
FROM THE TOP OF THE WORLD TO THE GROUND

I'VE BEEN SEEN WITH NO SOUND
SHUFFLING WIND NOWHERE BOUND
I'VE BEEN LOST AND BABY I'VE BEEN FOUND

ONCE A KING TWICE A CLOWN
I'VE BEEN SNEAKING AROUND
FROM THE TOP OF THE WORLD TO THE GROUND

WHISPERING TO THE WIND 
LOVELY SWEET LITTLE NOTHINGS
SOMETIMES LOVE IS A SOLITARY THING

I'VE BEEN UP I'VE BEEN DOWN
I'VE BEEN FOOLING ALL AROUND
FROM THE TOP OF THE WORLD TO THE GROUND





I'VE BEEN UP (Lyrics)

You need to understand why I'm this way
I can't believe all this mess
Is happening to me

I can't stand the heat of your voice in my head
As if it was a dark light that's coming ahead
I can't tell where it's coming from
But I hear other voices

Let me think a while on what I've lived
A hell of a nightmare I lived
And a bunch of bad memories
That went away with my illness


I can see darkness and light
Coming from nowhere
I can hear the sounds of hell
And Paradise as well
I can't stand this nightmare
And I must get help
I want to get away
From this Earth and walk through space


Dear friends I mourn you
And when you played games
I've been anchored by you
Even after your deaths

Let me think a while on what we've lived
Oh you lived this hell with me
Cause of a wicked father
That went away with all this mess


I can see darkness light
Coming from nowhere
I can hear the sounds of hell
And Paradise as well
I can't stand this nightmare
And I must get help
I want to get away
From this Earth and walk through space

I can see darkness and light
Coming from nowhere
I can hear the sounds of hell
And Paradise as well
I can't stand this nightmare
And I must get help
I want to get away
From this Earth and walk through space

Dark And Light

Time waits for no one

Hi! I had my first soundcloud episode from 2012 until end of February 2025. Because my account was hacked, I had to make a cut. I wanted to start anew with a reduced collection of my best songs. Now, with a new header at the homepage, I continue with what I love most: making music. 
If you like my music please share & like, thanks!
Let's keep on rockin' the attic! Rainer K.
