Peter Gabriel - Games Without Frontiers Lyrics






Jeux sans frontières [3x]

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 builds a bonfire, Enrico plays with it

Whistling tunes we hide in the dunes by the seaside
Whistling tunes we're kissing baboons in the jungle

It's a knockout

[2x]
If looks could kill,
They probably will
In games without frontiers
War without tears

Games without frontiers
War without tears

Jeux sans frontières [3x]

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

[2x]
If looks could kill,
They probably will
In games without frontiers
War without tears

Games without frontiers
War without tears

Jeux sans frontières

  1. S.... M....

    Peter bridged the barriers between All the genres

  2. S.... M....

    ngl peter gabriel really looks like a nonce

  3. d.... ....

    🤘😑🤘

  4. S.... L....

    Backing vocals by Kate Bush.

  5. T.... M....

    Sounds like "She's so popular" just sayin !!

  6. J.... M....

    Love him!

  7. L.... M....

    Fantastique musique.

  8. u.... ....

    How to love the bomb and stop worrying.

  9. g.... j....

    HOLD THE FUCK UP...so it's not 'she's so popular'

  10. R.... K....

    That Willy. Always so happy when played with. The little scamp.

  11. D.... P....

    Was not into this type of music back then but something in his music gripped me became a fan

  12. e.... ....

    I had no idea until now that Kate Bush did backing vocals on this. Mind blown.

    e.... ....

    @eclectica1 check this out then, a stripped-down mix of the song with Kate's vocals very clear https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZr2cum2_8I

    e.... ....

    it is not even her!

  13. L.... H....

    10/12/19 Russia handed four year ban on all major sporting events by anti-doping agency... Here We go again???

  14. t.... r....

    This L P was RECORDED IN 1979 Make the 70s GREAT AGAIN

  15. m.... ....

  16. K.... K....

    Why is this still so good? Oh yeah, early 80s music...

  17. E.... C....

    Sheez, so f*ck me yeah!

  18. G.... J....

    Such an important song, especially in todays world. Nationalism is a disease, a poison on humanity.

    G.... J....

    Hardly, Your nation is the closest thing to actually giving a shit about your existence, and has kept humans alive for there entire existence. Globalisation is a push for global socialism. Where do ou think the nuclear threat depicted in this video clip came from.

  19. M.... R....

  25. N.... C....

    Timeless classic, dug out the cassette and played the complete tape in the car from 2003 (Rover 75) with a built in radio cassette, whilst driving to Gamlingay, yes there is a town called that. The album still sounds great today after all this time.

  26. F.... T....

    Hans plays with Lotte, Lotte plays with Jane

  27. M.... B....

    Don't forget the album this was on when it came out, every song is also great, still have the vinyl l.p. since '79.

  28. J.... ....

    She’s... so fuckin’ A

  29. R.... B....

    Top hit!!

  30. K.... C....

    Peter Gabriel: I want to make a sinister and creepy sounding song out of a silly game show where they throw buckets of water around.
    Everyone else: Why?
    Peter Gabriel: Why not?

    K.... C....

    I mean he did make "Intruder", so this is mild by that standard.

  31. S.... S....

    Damn I love this song so much. Peter Gabriel your voice gives me chills!!!

  32. R.... L....

    KATE BUSH! Love her! Great Song!

  39. P.... E....

    Not as good as 'Easy Lover' by Phil Collins.

  41. G.... 3....

  44. O.... T....

    La clave 👍🔥

  59. J.... R....

    When I see I hate even more that we age so quickly because I remember when this song came out. Mans greatest enemies evil and old age maybe thats why we age to stop any man from doing to much evil. Stalin used to send big meat grinders into cities and have the entire population thrown into it what a evil person him and Hitler killed a quarter billion people.

  60. M.... C....

    This got me high

  61. T.... D....

    One of those songs that you found but never forget

  62. T.... T....

    Juegos q no tienen fronteras los hacen en el mundo a lo referido

  64. S.... K....

    1 of the best

  65. C.... W....

    I'm truly glad and grateful that looks don't kill in the real world because if that WERE the case, EVERY one would be dead!

  66. �.... ....

  67. K.... M....

    ❤️🌺

  68. L.... B....

    PETE GABRRIEL. COOL. XXX PEACE X

  69. V.... R....

    It's great in German too! https://www.mojo4music.com/articles/21236/listen-to-peter-gabriels-games-without-frontiers-in-german

  70. S.... O....

    Stick bass brought me here....

  71. D.... D....

    This is a masterpiece, I think possibly because some of the references it's not played as much as it should be, still love it. Takes me back to being 10 years old when life was so different . And Kate Bush....Amazing!

  72. H.... B....

    I don’t even recognize Peter’s voice in this! So different from his usual, sexy voice. Great song though- God I love this man. ❤️

  73. J.... M....

    quite prescient

  74. M.... A....

    "If looks could kill they probably will in games without frontiers, war without tears."

    M.... A....

    great song. :)

  75. e.... v....

    Welcome to the new world 😁soulbruy Hill sounds a lot different now as well.love to all . Someone was telling us something?

  76. R.... C....

    "whistling tunes we piss on the goons in the jungle" lol. This song was written before the Snowflake, PC culture.

    R.... C....

    Or maybe his choice of words serve a purpose other than being some edgelord asshole.

    R.... C....

    ok boomer

    R.... C....

    It's a knockout..

    R.... C....

    I do not believe the phrase is meant to be taken literally, but rather refers to the use of chemical weapons in Vietnam

    R.... C....

    @Shining Armor rule #1 in snowflakeland. Feelings trump facts. Doesn't matter lol

  77. J.... R....

    A very rare talent indeed.

  78. n.... K....

    I’m here 9/22/2019

  79. A.... B....

    Heck yeah. I love it

  80. P.... M....

    Gabriel proved he didnt need any help to share his gift when he left genesis. Truly confident, & rightly so, because he's nothing less than a legend. Thank you Peter, keep rocking brother.

  81. A.... ....

    Reminds me of North Korea. I love the evil cowboy demon.

  82. N.... A....

    "If looks could kill, they probably will" isn't grammatical. Should be "If looks could kill, they probably would." So...

    "If looks kill could, they probably would"

    There, fixed it for you. You're welcome Peter.

  83. M.... W....

    If asked for a quintessential New Wave track this would be on the top of my list.

  84. S.... M....

    2:39 not politically correct now. And i love it.

  85. E.... M....

    My favourite part for the song
    "Adolf builds a bonfire, Enrico plays with it"






    this refers to Adolf Hitler (obviously) and Italian physicist Enrico Fermi, who is most famous for his work on the first nuclear reactor








    *QUITE A BONFIRE*

  86. J.... ....

    Peter Gabriel.. fucking musical genius.

  87. l.... ....

    I have this taped on cassette from when it was in the charts. Time is so scary.

  88. C.... Z....

    Years later some indian cretin at the other side of the globe can finally tell me how he engaged in oral intercourse with my mom in an electronic game.
    What a time to be alive.

  89. L.... K....

    Interesting fagget that Peter Gabriel. And this is a shit song.

    L.... K....

    Get off this song then :)

    L.... K....

    Sorry for you he's not into dudes...

  90. C.... ....

    I've always liked this tune...Exactly what the video implies...Senseless and stupid games played with what you think is supposed to be THE enemy - YOUR enemies, only because someone of authority says they should be, all in a Cold War impromptu...

  91. M.... K....

    Still one of the greatest songs i ever heard!

  92. k.... F....

    one of my fave 80s tunes. sublime!

  93. S.... L....

    Never ever gets old classic tune that takes me back to a place where I was much younger ✌️❤️

  94. M.... ....

    I was 10 in 1980 , damn i thought this song was released mid 80's . Way ahead of its time , 2019 still strong!

  95. R.... ....

    Winter, 1980, 10 years of age, parents were still alive, no cares or worries in the world, healthy, happy, ignorant and content tot be so...

  96. J.... W....

    As a massive Kate Bush fan, how it is i am just finding out that she sang the backing/chorus??? ive heard this song for years too especially at bars. wow. mind blown.

  97. c.... u....

    their's no ..is about it.. this is indeed a masterpiece

  98. E.... ....

    Way before his time.
