"Victim Of Changes" as written by and Glenn Raymond/halford Tipton....
Whiskey woman don't you know that you are drivin' me insane
The liquor you give stems your will to live and gets right to my brain
Don't you know you're driving me insane
You're tryin' to find your way through life
You're tryin' to get some new direction
Another woman's got her man
But she won't find no new connection
Takes another drink or two
Things look better when she's through
Take another look around, you're not goin' anywhere
Realized you're gettin' old and no one seems to care
You're tryin' to find your way again
You're tryin' to find some new
Another woman's got her man
But she won't find a new
Takes another drink or two
Things look better when she's through
You 'bin foolin' with some hot guy
I want to know why is it why
Get up get out you know you really blew it
I've had enough, I've had enough, good God pluck me
Once she was wonderful
Once she was fine
Once she was beautiful
Once she was mine (She was mine)
Now change has come over her body
She doesn't see me anymore
Now change has come over her body
She doesn't see me anymore
Changes, changes, changes, changes
Victim of changes
No, no, no, no
The liquor you give stems your will to live and gets right to my brain
Don't you know you're driving me insane
You're tryin' to find your way through life
You're tryin' to get some new direction
Another woman's got her man
But she won't find no new connection
Takes another drink or two
Things look better when she's through
Take another look around, you're not goin' anywhere
Realized you're gettin' old and no one seems to care
You're tryin' to find your way again
You're tryin' to find some new
Another woman's got her man
But she won't find a new
Takes another drink or two
Things look better when she's through
You 'bin foolin' with some hot guy
I want to know why is it why
Get up get out you know you really blew it
I've had enough, I've had enough, good God pluck me
Once she was wonderful
Once she was fine
Once she was beautiful
Once she was mine (She was mine)
Now change has come over her body
She doesn't see me anymore
Now change has come over her body
She doesn't see me anymore
Changes, changes, changes, changes
Victim of changes
No, no, no, no

seems its about some woman who was once beautiful but got hooked on alcohol and her life took a turn for the worst. no one seemed to notice her anymore. she became a victim of changes
This track could well be partly about prostitution - "Another woman got her man / She won't find no new connection"
Great song wherever you analyze it.
'Once she was wonderful
Once she was fine
Once she was beautiful
Once she was mine...she was mine
Now change has come over her body, she doesn't see me anymore
Now change has come over her body, she doesn't see me anymore '
...because a while back I went out with this girl, and over time she got sick and at the same time our relationship fell apart. I think it would have fallen apart anyways her body just happened to be going through changes. So I can take 'changes came over her body, she doesn't see me any more' completely literally in regards to that. That bit makes me sad. Though as a P.S she got completely better and is now living happily.
And yeah the song is most likely about alcoholism and the damage it has done on a relationship. My example was more about a sickness, but it can still apply. It's a fine portrait of how life changes and things fall apart. Halford sounds ace.
