Lyrics[edit | edit source]
From the November 4, 2000 performance:
june plays with earl
earl plays with june
june is under the glass
glass is over the moon
freddie plays with mercury
silver whistles quick
jesse builds a bonfire
we all stall in it
whistling tunes we play in the dunes by the seaside
whistling things we lie in the moon by the seaside
it's a knockout
looks could kill, they probably will
in games without frontiers
war without tears
games without frontiers
war without tears
billy has a red flag
kids wave the blue
we all have hills to cry on
except for leon lou
dressing up in costumes
we have silly games
hiding out in bunkers
calling out rude names
whistling tunes we lie in the dunes by the seaside
whispering tunes we fight for a diamond desire
it's a knockout
looks could kill, they probably will
in games without frontiers
war without tears
games without frontiers
war without tears
she's so hot for you
she's so hot for you
she's so hot for you
she's so hot for you
she's so hot for you
she's so hot for you
she's so hot for you
she's so hot for you
she's so hot for you
she's so hot for you
she's so hot for you
she's so hot for you
