Letra:
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
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
