Human Nature (Medieval Cover)

I peer out

Across the courtyard

I spy a noble virgin there

Yet my wife

Closes the window

She Understands my stare

I need a son

Yet none will bare me

Any my patience nears its end

If the pope

Won’t grant my annulment

It’ll take matters into mine own hands

If he says

Wherefor, wherefor, Tell em King Henry VII demands it

Wherefor, wherefor, For I will have my way

If he says

Wherefor, wherefor, By the Power and the Glory

Wherefor, wherefor, else it’ll reform the church

Daughters again?

Tis unacceptable

You’ll join Catherine in a castle.

But if another girl

Is your issue…

By God, some heads will roll

If they say

Wherefor, wherefor, Tell them I’m the King of England

Wherefor, wherfor, Must I invade France

If they say

Wherefor, wherefor, Must I have so many wives

Wherefor, wherefor, Must I burn them at the stake

I enjoy my praise

I love singing my praise

Hans Holbein

Painted my portrait

A mighty image, wouldst thou say?

What the kings demands

So must he have

An anglican dynasty

If they say

Wherefor, wherefor, Did the Tudor’s do sum damage

Wherefor, wherefor, Did he write Greensleeves?

If I say

Wherefor, wherefor, Must I cut off ties with Rome

Wherefor, wherefor, I did it my way.
