RETRO pop songs --- from another millennium and another galaxy.
My name's Pete. from Birmingham in UK-land. Nice to meet you ! I made a lot of very varied popsongs in the pre-digital age. I say they're McCartneyish, as I don't know how to categorize them. Allsorts. The description I use is RETRO I'm really a songwriter who wants others to perform these songs. So please bear that in mind as you grimace at my efforts to be acceptable. I'm especially concerned to write good lyrics, and if you do ever give some time to my stuff, I hope you will click to the lyrics and read those also. They don't come easy, you know. I'm plonking my songs here to give them a home, in the hope you might think they're not too bad. In fact, in the hope that you'll snap them up and I'll become an instant overnight megastar multi-millionaire. But failing that, I hope that you just like them. And if you do like one - I'd especially like it if you told me so. We all need strokes, eh ? Cheers ! Pete Songs-in-a-Bottle

Story behind the song
I got the title, and the rest just fell into place (which place I'd rather not specify)
Lyrics
Cleopatra - Cleopatra after the usual intrigues and family murders married to suit convention set out to own a Roman and Egyptian throne Cleopatra - Cleopatra wrapped in a rug presented to Julius Caesar she wove her spell upon him after a while they cruised along the river Nile mapping the world according to Cleopatra by Julius Caesar she had a son appositely named one Caesarian and in pageant in Rome paraded him pompously - gee ! six Cleopatras who bore the same name but only the seventh historical fame purported to be by description a polyglot who spoke Egyptian led her domain up a new nook minus Pothinus the eunuch she kept a cool head in a crisis by being the daughter of Isis when Caesar fell and she had to flee she then set her sights on Mark Anthony and she dressed as the goddess Venus seductively - gee ! Cleopatra - Cleopatra aged thirty-nine, defeated by cold Octavian Mark Anthony by her side for her last gasp she poisoned herself with an asp last in the line of pharaohs - fair Cleopatra born 69 bc little did she know she'd be last of the royal Ptolemaic dynasty I thank you
