From The Mind of Merc - Difference

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 difference a few years can make. For example, in Tudor history.

King Henry VIII - the king infamous for his 6 wives - actually got through the last 4 in the last 10 years of his life. So much so that it shows a distinct difference in the attitude of the ladies of the court to winning the king's eye and his hand in marriage, as demonstrated by the image below.

True - Henry's size, weight, appearance and temper had all worsened by the time he wed no. 6 but still - that poor woman.

Eat 'Em All - !!!NEW!!!

This time I'm using one of Miley Cyrus's numbers for a parody about Cronos - chief titan of Greek mythology. After his successful overthrow of his father, Uranus, he had a slightly odd plan to keep hold of power.

Wrecking Ball Eat 'Em All not by Miley Cyrus
We fought, we won, our dad was done
I was now boss of them all
Although we’re safe I still can’t say
I won’t share the same fall 

Don't want that to be my own destiny
Overthrown by my son
To ensure my reign, and secure my gain
One thing must now be done 

I guess I’ll have to eat em all
It’s the only way to be safe
I’ll stop them while they’re all still so small
Then they will never defeat me
They won’t defeat me

We live so high up in the sky
And no, I’m not coming down
I like being, the one true king
There’s just one thing that makes me frown

Don't want that to be my own destiny
Overthrown by my son
To ensure my reign, and secure my gain
One thing must now be done

I guess I’ll have to eat em all
It’s the only way to be safe
I’ll stop them while they’re all still so small
Then they will never defeat me
They won’t defeat me

I guess I’ll have to eat em all
It’s the only way to be safe
I’ll stop them while they’re all still so small
Then they will never defeat me
They won’t defeat me

I do not want another war
I just want to always be on top
That is what I do this for
And no-one will make me stop
I do not want another war
I just want to always be on top
And no-one will make me stop

Don't want that to be my own destiny
Overthrown by my son

I guess I’ll have to eat em all
It’s the only way to be safe
I’ll stop them while they’re all still so small
Then they will never defeat me

I guess I’ll have to eat em all
It’s the only way to be safe
I’ll stop them while they’re all still so small
Then they will never defeat me
They won’t defeat me
They won’t defeat me

Perfect - !!!NEW!!!

Today a slight twist on a Lewis Capaldi number. If you took his song Pointless and completely changed the meaning you'd get....

Pointless Perfect not by Lewis Capaldi
I brought her coffee in the morning
She just wanted to sleep
I took her out to fancy restaurants
She said she didn’t want to eat
I made her cards on her birthday
She wanted store bought ones
I took her water when she's thirsty
She said she’d prefer none 

I thought that our love was fated
But I now have come to understand
Because now I see what she really means to me and

Despite all the time we spent
I’ve discovered that it’s true
Everything is perfect without you
Now I find all of my efforts
Don’t leave me feeling blue
Everything is perfect without you

I lit the fire when it was cold out
And she just left the room
I wanted her love for forever
But it would never bloom
I took her out to the movies
She said it’s overlong
I thought she was my everything
But in that too I was wrong

I thought that we were both meant to be
And her love was all I wanted
But after all I said and after all of what I did

Despite all the time we spent
I’ve discovered that it’s true
Everything is perfect without you
Now I find all of my efforts
Don’t leave me feeling blue
Everything is perfect without you

Fine without you
Fine without you
We are now so through
Fine without you
Fine without you
We are now so through

Despite all the time we spent
I’ve discovered that it’s true
Everything is perfect without you
Now I find all of my efforts
Don’t leave me feeling blue
Everything is perfect without you
Everything is perfect without you

From The Mind of Merc - Pride

Sometimes I find my mind wandering over various eclectic topics and occasionally I am inspired to write some of them down. Today I took a trip to London where the Pride Parade was in full swing so I thought I'd share a short and simple message:
