Any Old Actress — текст песни (Rasputina)

They saw her break through barriers 40 feet high.
It was the finest moment in a long life.
Young boys will tack her pictures over their bed.
They saw her mouth move but couldn`t hear what she said.


You`re a souvenir, a darling, dear.
She used to say that kind of thing.
You`re a mantlepiece with strong beliefs.
Only her black rainbow meant something.


Don`t cry for her now. Oh yeah. Don`t cry for her.


I saw the sailor talking with the cops.
I saw the sailor walking with the cops.
First comes the nurse, that just got back from war.
She had a feather in her cap. That`s all she wore.
Then comes the mother and she`s got a friend.
And they start yelling at you and that`s how it all began.


It`s one of those things you should not try at home.
What`s meant by intentional falls can never be known.
And old actress worth her salt outta know
The higher you are you want to see what`s below.
