Submit: Millennium Lyrics
The theme for week seventy-nine is the song Millenium by Robbie Williams. You may submit one CLAMP icon as long as it features at least three consecutive words from the following lyrics.
Millennium
Robbie Williams
we've got stars directing our fate
and we're praying its not too late
millennium
some say that we are players
some say that we are pawns
but we've been making money since the day that we were born
then slow down before we fall down
we've got stars directing our fate
and we're praying it's not too late
cause we know we're falling from grace
millennium
live for liposuction
and detox for your rent
overdose at Christmas
and give it up for lent
my friends are all so cynical
refuse to keep the faith
we all enjoy the madness cause we know we're gonna to fade away
we've got stars directing our fate
and we're praying it's not too late
cause we know we're falling from grace
millennium
come and have a go if you think you are hard enough (X2)
millennium (X2)
we've got stars directing our fate
and we're praying it's not too late
cause we know we're falling from grace
millennium
and when we come we always come to late
i often think that we were born to hate
get up and see the sarcasm in my eyes (X2)
we've got stars directing our fate
(millennium)and we're praying its not too late
(millennium)cause we know we're falling from grace
millennium
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 (i.e. the minimum three word requirement) 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.
Aside from that everything is up to you when it comes to selecting the perfect lyrics and matching it to your chosen series/character imagery. As always, be creative and have some fun.
Please submit your icon by uploading it to an outside host that allows direct linking, then leave a screened comment to this post with your icon's img src, url, series and character names. This information makes my job easier so please follow this example.

Series: XXXholic

Answer this question at the original post. I just need to know whether or not I can reveal your username in connection with an icon submission when asked. 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.
