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... well, today.
They say a picture's worth 1000 words and I think this picture I found online speaks volumes:
And another:
Dancing Queen Virgin Queen not by ABBA
Ooh
I will rule
Will survive
Had to fight all of my life
I’m now on top
Of the scene
I am the Virgin Queen
Although I was born a princess
I soon found myself in distress
Mother was executed
Forsook to the world
Just because I was a girl
After dad and Edward died
Had to show was on Mary’s side
Nearly got executed
But escaped that fate
Then I waited to succeed
And then eventually
I am the Virgin Queen
Pure and clean
No in-between
Virgin Queen
To hist’ry
That is how I’m seen, oh yeah
I will rule
Will survive
Had to fight all of my life
I’m now on top
Of the scene
I am the Virgin Queen
I’ve fought so hard, to get the
throne
Determined I will rule alone
Though I’ll look for a husband
I will stay unwed
‘Cause I have learnt my lesson
And now my time’s begun
I am the Virgin Queen
Pure and clean
No in-between
Virgin Queen
To hist’ry
That is how I’m seen, oh yeah
I will rule
Will survive
Had to fight all of my life
I’m now on top
Of the scene
I am the Virgin Queen
I am the Virgin
Queen
Had to do a return to my Tudor theme
Price Tag Sister not by Jessie J
Okay, Big Tudor Man, Cromwell, and Me
You ready?
My name well it is Anna von Kleve
Let me tell you what I achieved
You may think you know
The way my story goes
But that is not to be believed
You really think I was so hideous?
Oh you cannot be serious
Listen to my side
Then you can decide
Whether what people say was all right
Henry chose me from my portrait
But he didn’t like the real life
Is it my fault? Huh?
(That) Holbein didn’t paint it right
Though I did marry the king, the king,
the king
(He) Didn’t want our wedding, wedding, wedding
I don’t want another mister
So I became his sister
‘Cause I did the, uh, smart thing, smart thing
And I lost my, yeah, wedding r-ring
Not another mister
So I will stay his sister
Annulled
After our marriage was now done
Henry he found another one
Such a pretty young thing who was into bling
But sadly she had quite a short run
Why do you all think I’m a loser?
When I was the real survivor
Parr died in 4-8 but still I was great
And I lived to see Mary on the throne
Henry chose me from my portrait
But he didn’t like the real life
But I’m not glum. Nope
‘Cause things still turned out
alright
Though I did marry the king, the king,
the king
(He) Didn’t want our wedding, wedding, wedding
I don’t want another mister
So I became his sister
‘Cause I did the, uh, smart thing, smart thing
And I lost my, yeah, wedding r-ring
Not another mister
So I will stay his sister
Yeah, yeah, she’ll stay his sister
(yeah)
‘Cause she’s better off
From Henry she got (I got)
A good trade off (trade off)
And you can, can keep the crown, leave her alone now
And all she, yes, all she needs is the stuff she owns
And that’s it – the rest of her life, she stayed in England
Yeah, you might think she’s bland, was actually quite grand
Just cos one man, called her appearance a disgrace
You all think she’s ugly, but she’s here to say that’s just not the case
So she will be alright you’ll see, always
She’s got enough to see her to the end of her days
So when he’s gone she will keep
carrying on
‘Cause she still lived on, and so that’s why she sings
Though I did marry the king, the king,
the king
(He) Didn’t want our wedding, wedding, wedding
I don’t want another mister
So I became his sister
‘Cause I did the, uh, smart thing, smart thing
And I lost my, yeah, wedding r-ring
Not another mister
So I will stay his sister
Though I did marry the king, the
king, the king (yes you did it)
(He) Didn’t want our wedding, wedding, wedding (no he don't, he don't want it)
I don’t want another mister (no, no way want that)
So I became his sister (uh-huh)
‘Cause I did the, uh, smart thing, smart thing
And I lost my, yeah, wedding r-ring (yes she got out)
Not another mister (yeah, yeah)
So I will stay his sister
So I will stay his sister
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Yeah, yeah, ooh
So I will stay his sister
