Submit: Lyrics (Sing)
The theme for Week 212 is Sing by Travis as chosen by shio_katsu, October's Submitter of the Month. You may submit two different CLAMP (see below*) provided they both feature at least three consecutive words from the following lyrics. ATTENTION: To keep things challenging though you are not allowed to just use the repeating text, make sure each of the minimum three words are different.
*NOTE: If you are submitting two entries, then at least one of your icons must only feature imagery from an under-represented series. Check this post for a list of such titles, some gallery links and more information.
Sing
Travis
Baby, you've been going so crazy
Lately, nothing seems to be going right
Solo, why do you have to get so low
You're so...
You've been waiting in the sun too long
But if you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
For the love you bring won't mean a thing
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing
Colder, crying on your shoulder
Hold her, and tell her everything's gonna be fine
Surely, you've been going to early
Hurry, cause no one's gonna be stopped
Na na na
But if you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
For the love you bring won't mean a thing
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing
Baby, there's something going on today
But I say nothing, nothing, nothing,
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
The order counts for the first three words, but afterwards you can take a bit more liberty with the lyrics. It is not necessary to maintain punctuation or letter casing and you may substitue alternate characters for words where appropriate (e.g. and with &). You are not allowed to incorporate any external text into your icon, though you may use tinytext/brushes provided they're purely decorative and not legiable. Try to keep the required text as readable as possible and remember to check your spelling/wording before submitting as it's easy to make an error.
And remember that each icon you enter earns you one ballot for November's Submitter of the Month contest.
