ROBBIE WILLIAMS - MILLENIUM
We've Got Stars Directing Our Fate
And We're Praying It's 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
Got To Slow Down
Cause We'll Low Down
Round And Round In Circles
Live A Life Of Solitude
'Till We Find Ourselves A Partner Someone To Relate To
Then We 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
Detax For Your 'Rents
Overdose For 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 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
Come And Have A Go If You Think You Are Hard Enough
Millennium
Millennium
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
(Sometimes You Know)
And When We Come We Always Come Too Late
I Often Think That We Were Born To Hate
Get Up And See The Sarcasm In My Eyes
And When We Come We Always Come Too Late
I Often Think That We Were Born To Hate
Get Up And See The Sarcasm In My Eyes
We've Got Stars Directing Our Fate (Millennium)
And We're Praying It's Not Too Late (Millennium)
'Cause We Know We're Falling From Grace (Millennium)
(And We Won't Stop)
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

SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Robbie Williams, Guy Chambers
Producer(s): Guy Chambers, Steve Power
This Song Prepares For The Millennium (Year 2000), Which Was Two Years Away At That Time. It Was Brilliant Forethought To Create An Anthem Surrounding The Event, And The Big Chorus With "Stars Directing Our Fate" Made It The Most Popular Song About The New Millennium. This Was Despite Some Rather Cynical Lyrics, Where Williams Even Mentions The "Sarcasm In My Eyes."
The Little Bridge In The Middle Of The Song Was Conceived As A Soccer Chant. Chambers Had The Melody For That Section Written, And Williams Came Up With The Words, "Come And Have A Go If You Think You're Hard Enough."
The Music Video Was Directed By Vaughan Arnell And Used A James Bond Theme To Go Along With The Musical Idea. Williams Does Some Very Rough Recreations Of Famous Scenes From Various Bond Movies In The Clip. The Video Was Filmed At Pinewood Studios In London, Home To The Famous 007 Stage. British Model And Television Chef Lorraine Pascale Stars As One Of The Bond Girls In The Visual.
Strictly Speaking, The New Millennium Began On January 1, 2001, But It Was Commonly Celebrated A Year Earlier.
"Millennium" Was The Lead Single From Williams' Second Album, I've Been Expecting You. It Was Williams' First Single To Reach #1 On Uk Chart, Knocking All Saints' "Bootie Call" Off The Top Spot. Williams, Who Was Engaged To All Saints Member Nicole Appleton At The Time, Said: "Someone Had To Be Knocked Off And It May As Well Be The Wife."
This Song Also Received Extensive Airplay In The Us, Where It Peaked At #72 On The Billboard Hot 100. Despite This, Williams Was Never Able To Truly Crack The States.
