George Ezra – Budapest Lyrics 11 years ago
Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, fell for Sophie, a love forbidden by Emperor Franz Joseph, now [Sophie] could never share [Franz Ferdinand's] rank ... could never share his splendours, could never even sit by his side on any public occasion. There was one loophole ... his wife could enjoy the recognition of his rank when he was acting in a military capacity. Hence, he decided, in 1914, to inspect the army in Bosnia. There, at its capital Sarajevo, the Archduke and his wife could ride in an open carriage side by side ... Thus, for love, did the Archduke go to his death

The song is cast on such a background,

Oh to you, you, I'd leave it all:

is when you contemplate the price of your love,
and still realize it's the purest avatar

Castillo, artifacts,
are items associated with royalty
consistent to the opening prose

Budapest is a story of a forbidden love,
and the thrills that surround it,
we all know,
there's nothing like a forbidden love
