Submit: C'est La Vie
The theme for week fifty-five is a lyrical challenge featuring C'est La Vie by B*Witched. It's one of those fun silly happy-go-lucky songs and we could use one of those every so often, plus I was obsessed with it when I was younger ^~
You may submit one CLAMP icon as long as it features at least three consecutive words from the lyrics provided. The order counts for the first three words but afterwards you can take a bit more liberty rearranging them so long as you don't misrepresent what the lyrics mean. You may substitue alternate characters for words when appropriate the most common example being replacing and with &.
You are not allowed to incorporate any external text into your icon, I won't get overly anal about tiny ilegible text used purely as decoration though as much as possible keep it lyric related. Speaking of tiny text if the only text on your icon is too small for me to read without squinting kindly provide a translation so I know which part of the lyrics you used. Please check your spelling and wording before submitting, it's easy to make a mistake the first time around.
C'est La Vie
B*Witched
Some people say I look like me dad
What?! Are you serious?
Ah Ohh Hey Hey
I said, hey boy sittin in your tree
Mummy always wants you to come for tea
Don't be shy, straighten up your tie
Get down from your tree house sittin in the sky
I wanna know just what to do
Is it very big is there room for two ?
I got a house with windows and doors
I'll show you mine if you show me yours
Gotta let me in, hey, hey, hey
Let the fun begin hey
I'm the wolf today hey, hey, hey
I'll huff I'll puff
I'll huff I'll puff and blow you away
Say you will say you won't
Say you'll do what I don't
Say you're true, say to me c'est la vie
Do you play with the girls, play with the boys ?
Do you ever get lonely playing with your toys ?
We can talk, we can sing
I'll be the queen and you'll be the king
Hey boy in your tree
Throw down your ladder make a room for me
I got a house with windows and doors
I'll show you mine if you show me yours
Gotta let me in, hey, hey, hey
Let the fun begin hey
I'm the wolf today hey, hey, hey
I'll huff I'll puff
I'll huff I'll puff and blow you away
Say you will say you won't
Say you'll do what I don't
Say you're true, say to me c'est la vie
Say you will say you won't
Say you'll do what I don't
Say you're true, say to me c'est la vie
Have some fun playing with the words, I know they're a bit 'odd' in unison but they're still workable once you start cutting up parts so be creative with your interpretations.

I won't give people permission to use your work, I'll just send them to your journal/ijournal to ask you personally for your permission and your rules for credit.
