on the day she was born she was ignored by the family's men
when she was raised and taught
she was adored by the court's noble men
watch your head
a throne needs a son
make sure what you get
a girl won't find salvation in a king's bed
she has temper behind her black eyes and wears her wardrobe in french fashion
about charms and power she knows well
gossip hissing "king's under her spell"
sweet Anne, don't give in
you think you're above
but there's nothing to win
a woman should collect flowers
and press them between the pages
of the hymns
and not reach out for a scepter
that will never be yours
watch your head
a throne needs a son
but the queen has none
a queen without a son
is as useless as a nun
on the day her daughter was born
the king passed by
on the day she miscarried again
the king fell in love with another
and Cromwell seemed released
when he sent her away
From the window at the Tower
she saw her father
running away
he didn't even turn around
This song is about Anne Boleyn, Henry the Eighth's second wife.
So, Princess Catherine...you can be glad that those times are long gone. But be careful. It does not need a Tower to take a queen's/ princess' life nowadays.
