Alternate Six Lyrics - Anne of Cleves

And the fourth:

Get Down not (entirely) from Six

[Anne Of Cleves:]
Sittin' here all alone
On a throne
In a palace that it seems now I own
Life sure is pleasant
Now I’m overthrown

Came to England to wed a king
But then it seems when we met he was distressed
I wasn’t his thing
Just wouldn’t swing, show stopper
I came a crop(per)              

Don’t wanna go back there, can I stay here?
No need to fear, I will be your sister dear
Funded by the king’s riches
Was the smart one, unlike these bitches
(What?)
Everyday
Gonna do everything my way, yeah
'Cause I am single
And rich so no need to mingle

You, you said that I tricked ya
'Cause I, I didn't look like my profile picture
Don’t, don’t care if I agree
But I'm gonna stick around for everyone to see
Now you’ve set me free so

I'm the queen of this castle
Got out without a hassle
Get out
Get out
Got out without a hassle
Get out
Get out
Now I'm the queen of this castle

When I am called
I go to court
Pull up outside in my carriage
Don't need no marriage
Cause I had a little flirt with the headsman
Das is nicht mir fur
As you were

Taking my place behind the queen and
Some girls don’t want me seen
I ignore them
'Cause it’s what the king expects
Show respect
Das ist recht

All eyes on me
No criticism
I keep to my own Lutheranism

Yield so quick I didn’t cause a sensation
Although I didn’t help the reformation

You, you said that I tricked ya
'Cause I, I didn't look like my profile picture
Don’t, don’t care if I agree
But I'm gonna stick around for everyone to see
Now you’ve set me free so

I'm the queen of this castle
Got out without a hassle
Get out
Got out (without a hassle)
Get out
Get out
Now I'm the queen of this castle

No-one ever says I'm a gold digger
But check my bank book, diff’rent picture?
Got away
Accepted relegation to the reject bin
Not Henry’s prey
Knew it was best for me to take it on the chin
And that is why
I'm a royal house guest, and not his next victim
No one tells me I need a husband
With all this cash what girl would need a rich man

You, you said that I tricked ya
'Cause I, I didn't look like my profile picture
Don’t, don’t care if I agree
But I'm gonna stick around for everyone to see
Now you’ve set me, you’ve set me free so

I'm the queen of this castle
Got out without a hassle
Get out (yeah, go on, ha!)
Get out (get out scot free)
Got out without a hassle
Get out (it's Anna of Cleves)
(Aha-ha-ha, get)
Get out (now!)
Now I'm the queen of this castle

Alternate Six Lyrics - Jane Seymour

Time for the third slightly altered Six song:

Unbreakable not (entirely) from Six

[Jane Seymour:]
You've got a good heart
But I know it changes
A restless tide, untameable
You came my way
And I knew a storm could come too
You'd lift me high, or let me fall

But I took your hand
Promised I'd withstand
Any blaze you blew my way
'Cause something inside
Was petrified
And I knew I'd always stay

You can build me up
You can tear me down
That is your will - unshakable
You can do your best
But I'll stand the test
I must be - unbreakable
Your rage will burn
But I won’t moan

Will not fight the tide
Against the
stone
Your heart of stone

You say we're perfect
A perfect family
You hold us close for the world to see
And when I say you're the only one I'll ever love
I mean those words truthfully

But I know, without my son
Your love could disappear
And though it isn't fair
Won’t turn a hair
And so I
will still be here

You can build me up
You can tear me down
That is your will - unshakable
You can do your best
But I'll stand the test
I must be - unbreakable
Your rage will burn
But I won’t moan

Will not fight the tide
Against the
stone
Your heart of stone

Soon I'll have to go
I'll never see him grow
But I hope my son will know
He'll never be alone
'Cause like a river runs dry
And leaves its scars behind
I'll be by his side
'Cause my love is set in stone

Yeah

[All:]
You can build me up
You can tear me down
That is your will - unshakable
You can do your best
But I'll stand the test
I must be - unbreakable
Your rage will burn
But I won’t moan

Will not fight the tide

[Jane Seymour:]
I’ll fight the stone
Your
heart of stone

[All:]
You can build me up
You can tear me down
That is your will - unshakable
You can do your best
But I'll stand the test
I must be - unbreakable
Your rage will burn
But I won’t moan

Will not fight the tide

[Jane Seymour:]
I’ll fight the stone
Your
heart of stone

From The Mind of Merc - Home Truths

 Sometimes I find my mind wandering over various eclectic topics and occasionally I am inspired to write some of them down. Today I was thinking about the current state of affairs thanks to the corruption, incompetency and lack of compassion of the current UK government. Which I feel is adquately summed up in this collection of memes.
