Her eyes had lost their spark, the years had left their mark, She's just a paint..ed, taint..ed rose. #3. But though my heart was true, it would never do, . Party life was what she chose. Her eyes had lost their spark, the years had left their mark. She's just a painted, tainted, rose. REPEAT#3. A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
