Games Without Frontiers
Hans plays with Lotte, Lotte plays with Jane
Jane plays with Willi, Willi is happy again
Suki plays with Leo, Sacha plays with Britt
Adolf builts a bonfire, Enrico plays with it
Whistling tunes we hid in the dunes by the seaside
Whistling tunes we're kissing baboons in the jungle
It's a knockout
If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers-war without tears
Games without frontiers-war without tears
Jeux sans frontieres
Andre has a red flag, Chiang Ching's is blue
They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai Yu
Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games
Hiding out in tree-tops shouting out rude names
Whistling tunes we hide in the dunes by the seaside
Whistling tunes we piss on the goons in the jungle
It's a knockout
If looks could kill they probably will
In games without frontiers-wars without tears
If looks could kill they probably will
In games without frontiers-war without tears
Games without frontiers-war without tears
Jeux sans frontieres
Hans plays with Lotte, Lotte plays with Jane
Jane plays with Willi, Willi is happy again
Suki plays with Leo, Sacha plays with Britt
Adolf builts a bonfire, Enrico plays with it
Whistling tunes we hid in the dunes by the seaside
Whistling tunes we're kissing baboons in the jungle
It's a knockout
If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers-war without tears
Games without frontiers-war without tears
Jeux sans frontieres
Andre has a red flag, Chiang Ching's is blue
They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai Yu
Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games
Hiding out in tree-tops shouting out rude names
Whistling tunes we hide in the dunes by the seaside
Whistling tunes we piss on the goons in the jungle
It's a knockout
If looks could kill they probably will
In games without frontiers-wars without tears
If looks could kill they probably will
In games without frontiers-war without tears
Games without frontiers-war without tears
Jeux sans frontieres

It says to me that leaders play games and dont think of their actions.
Games as in war games, without frontiers they move into other lands with impunity, he is creating a conjunction of war with Children's games and equating them to the same level.
It was pretty common during this era to take an anti war stance in the UK
Mostly teams seemed to come from Minehead or Scarborough. I suppose now with one of the presenters with the well known laugh being questioned in Operation Yewtree the children thing might just be possible after all...
Lyrics funny old things if you can't hear them very well!
War is a 'game without frontiers' - a state that unleashes behaviour that goes beyond any normal boundary to limitless extremes.
i personally hate this song (at the moment, taste could change who knows?)
my ideas are less about the meanings and more about the song structure itself.
i really think this is a few ideas squashed together to make a song and the whole aldolf does this chian chin has that is a total filler, utter shit think about it, the only good bits are the "whistling tunes we hid... and also the "games without frontiers.. part.
i believe Gabriel whom i think can write the odd catchy tune, this however is a mix of two good parts and utter crap.
and how infantile disputes can appear. Children's war games can be started over the fact that 'Andre has a red
flag, Chiang Ching's is blue, They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai Yu' and politicians and
adults in general can have disputes over similar things. If only these games were as harmless as children
'Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games, Hiding out in tree-tops shouting out rude names' or adults who
play silly games on 'It's A Knockout/Jeux sans frontieres' where contestants from different countries (in the
European version at the time) would compete and have a harmless 'war without tears'.
