English Rose Video (MV)

Lady: An English rose
Always knows
Her absolute duty
To make an heir
And a spare
Protect the legacy

But Mummy couldn't make a boy
No matter how she prayed
She failed her marriage and her job
To "honor and obey"

Years went by
God heard her prayer
An heir was on the way!
But no one could have known the truth
Until that fateful day

She never saw her baby boy
'Cause he hadn't come out right
And when she woke and he was gone
It gave her such a fright

Mummy: Where is my baby?

Lady: She cried out

Mummy: Where is my boy, my son?

Lady: Only answer she ever got

Doctor: We took care of it Mum

Lady: My big baby brother was only alive ten hours
They took him while Mummy was sleeping
She was quite cross with Daddy
Ever since she hasn't had a proper rest
But, Daddy is Earl, so he always knows best
Then Daddy and Granny took Mummy to clinics to try and fix it
Mummy got sadder and Daddy got madder, but then she had me!

But I wasn't a boy
As you can see
They already had two girls
Now three?
They didn't know what to do with me
They'd hoped I would be a boy you see
So they didn't name me for three weeks
"Not another girl!"
But, then my little brother was born
He's my best friend, so everything's fine-
You know, most of the time

Daddy: All I do is coddle you- give you everything you could ever want! But you are impossible
Lady: Daddy?
Mummy: Being a part of this marriage is impossible
Lady: Mummy?
Daddy: You took a VOW
Mummy: You broke yours first
Daddy: You're hysterical, I can't speak to you when you're like this
It's ugly, you're ugly.
Mummy: You did this to me- to us!
Daddy: You will respect me!
Mummy: No I-
