A person in the 19th?--or friend of Stones?

I'm afraid could be both xD

audrey hepburn....lady ann

If you take it literally, it could be interpreted as Henry VIII serenading his future (and 3rd) wife, Jane Seymour (who was apparently the only one of his six wives that he genuinely loved) - with the 'Lady Anne' referring to the soon to be executed wife number 2, Anne Boleyn.

I think Tony Scaduto's Jagger biography suggested it was perhaps also intended as an ode to Marianne Faithfull, following his recent break up with Jean Shrimpton.

Not totally certain one living person = one literary person.

In over 40 years on the music scene it's hard to believe that these questions have not been answered or maybe even asked to Mick or Keith.

I would love to see a interview that was totally focused on song meanings, metaphors, people mentioned, rather than all this fluffy giggly crap.

I always thought it had something to do with Lady Jane Grey (1537-1554), Queen of England, for nine days, in 1553. Think she might also have had something to do with Dylan's "Queen Jane Approximately".

our cohort marcovandereijk came up with the most convincing (to me) theory:
in DH Lawrence's work Lady Jane is a term for female genitalia.
that would not only suit Mick's sentiments, but would also explain why he's been so evasive about explaining it.
(the question has been asked, and he's said it was just a coincidence that they were all historical names.)

Here she is:

The connect-the-dots between Dylan's Queen Jane and Lady Jane aren't that
far fetched I think; Dylan being the go-to guy for ideas back then.
Also, the names Jane, Anne, Marie were pretty popular back then,
girls could identify with it. I remember an interview with songwriter Tommy Boyce
who wrote the Monkees Valleri saying something to the effect that every girl
named Valleri would buy a record with that title.
And McCartney was pretty good with names: Michelle,Vera, Chuck, and Dave,
Maxwell, Sgt. Pepper, Rocky, Nancy, Uncle Albert etc...
I don't buy the "it was somebody's name for a joint" or "another name
for a vagina" or any of that nonsense. Makes good press, though.

Ah, yes, I really think Mick was inspired by Lady Chatterley's lover. D.H. Lawrence wrote two
earlier versions of his book and one was titled "John Thomas and Lady Jane". The names
in this title refer to the nicknames the gamekeeper (lover) uses for their genitals.
One of the famous quotes from this book is "John Thomas says goodnight to Lady Jane,
a little droopingly, but with a hopeful heart.

The book was not officially published in England before 1960, because it used some
explicit descriptions that would still (it's 2010 now) not make it on this board.
I guess it was considered very "hot" to read Lady Chatterley's Lover in the early 60's.

"Lady Jane is a complete sort of very weird song. I don't really know what that's all about myself. All the names are historical but it was really unconscious that they should fit together from the same period".

- Mick Jagger, 1968

Jane Seymour or it might be Jane Ormsby-Gore ???



I am a Frenchie ,as Mick affectionately called them in the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1977 .

In an unauthorized biography Jagger said that "Lady Jane" was slang for some part of women bodies.
