Any Old Actress Lyrics - Thanks For The Ether - 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.
