00:24 In a world where carpenters get resurrected
00:20 What would you have me do
00:23 He had a mind like Aristotle and a form like mortal sin
00:14 We mangled every thing we touch
00:17 What If is a game for scholars
00:21 I am locked up with my sons
00:07 When the king is off his ass
00:25 I can't be your mistress if I'm married to your...
00:06 And I will be king
00:32 This was treason
00:48 He's got a knife
00:17 He'll get no satisfaction out of me
00:07 Love in a world where carpenters get resurrected anything is...
00:12 I marvel at you After all these years still like a...
00:15 Don't everybody sob at once
00:17 That is the most terrible
01:02 And when you die
00:24 I even made poor Louis take me on Crusade
00:08 What family doesn't have its ups and downs
00:16 I know
00:13 Because you put your ass on purple cushions
00:08 Well wish me luck I'm off
00:07 I'd hang you from the nipples
00:05 What shall we hang
00:06 I hope we never die
00:06 There's no sense asking if the air is good if...
00:18 Don't fight me Eleanor What would you have me do give...
00:05 If you're a prince
00:05 It's my tombstone Eleanor you spoil me
00:42 What is this I'm not mouldering
00:13 How was your crossing
00:06 But I do love being king
00:10 I have a confession
00:16 Henry was 18 when we met and I was queen of France
00:25 Out Eleanor
00:07 I haven't kept the great bitch in the keep for ten...
00:09 The day those stout hearts band together is the day that...
00:20 Henry's bed is Henry's province
00:15 Did you ever love me
00:20 I found out the way your mind works and the kind of man you...
00:07 How dear of you to let me out of jail
00:14 I love you
00:05 I'm vilifying you for God's sake Pay attention
00:34 And you're smiling
00:11 Do you ever wonder
00:04 Mother's fighting
00:18 But nowhere in God's western world have I found anyone...
00:12 And all her teeth were even
01:09 When it is written
00:08 I've snapped and plotted all my life
00:35 Oh Henry we've mangled everything we've touched
00:11 You don't dare go
00:08 The Vexin's mine
00:36 And that's to be the king
00:19 We're jungle creatures
00:43 I have an offer for you
00:08 What a lovely girl
00:16 What we do in dungeons needs the shades of day
00:04 You're a stinker and you stink
00:18 What if is a game for scholars
00:17 And I can't ever have you back
00:06 It's on all the coins
00:04 You loved me
00:07 I adored you Never
00:11 Kings Queens knights everywhere you look and I'm the...
00:08 I'm the oldest man I know
00:14 The sky is pocked with stars
00:08 More brandywine
00:04 I never heard a corpse ask how it got cold
00:13 I want no women in my life
00:05 You'll make a lovely bride
00:13 What's happened
00:51 A king like you has policy prepared on everything
00:17 War agrees with you
00:08 I want to reach a settlement
00:10 You're so deceitful you can't ask for water when...
00:13 I thought I'd come and gloat a little
00:18 You've got your enigmatic face on What's your mood...
00:08 Love me little lamb or leave me
00:05 If you're broken it's because you're brittle
00:11 We're off to Rome to see the Pope
00:14 When the king is off his ass nobody sleeps
00:05 The royal corkscrew finds me twisted
01:02 There's a masterpiece
00:10 Where's a priest
00:15 That's the way deals are made
00:07 You're not an assassin
00:14 You haven't said you loved me
00:05 I don't think of you at all
