Jeux Sans Frontieres. (She's So Popular?)



Listen to me!
There _really_ is a spirit of Truth that can come into your physical body, into your mind and your whole being. There really is an all-powerful force, entity that you can live with twenty-four hours a day. And then you will never cry again. You'll never feel cheated again. You'll never wonder how you're going to get rid of your grief again because it is gone _and you know it is gone permanently_. This is what is called a genuine spiritual experience. It's waiting for you.

What Am I Doing With My Life?

Nancy Ellen Abrams's unwanted conversion began when she entered a 12-step programme for an eating disorder and was forced to call on a higher power.  In her search for something she could actually believe in, she thought with a shock: atheists have "merely stated what God can't be. We haven't considered yet what God could be."
Nancy Ellen Abrams, a philosopher of science who had zero interest in becoming a believer, talks about her discovery of a God that obeys the natural laws of the universe.

A person who has ascended a step or two up the spiritual ladder sometimes worries over what he thinks are contradictions. He states, 'One day I hear that an esoteric school is necessary, but the next day I hear that self-reliance alone can save us.' He need not worry, for such contradictions exist only as long as he thinks from a divided mind. Mental division creates apparent contradictions, but when the mind rises above the stage of thinking in opposites, contradictions disappear. View the earth from the moon and you see one world, not opposing nations. Vernon Linwood Howard

"If you are afraid, this means that you’re afraid to see something in you that contradicts your flattering self-image of not being afraid. You go into the world and you bluff and try to make people think that we’re confident, that we got it made and all that. And we’re afraid that if we see our fear that will contradict us and then we’ll say, 'Well who am I, one minute I'm this person who’s brave and the next minute I'm this person who’s afraid, so which one am I, it confuses me.' You want one identity.

Let me tell you that you don’t have two identities, most of you, you have about a thousand and every step you take onto that battlefield you’re going to see another one. You’re going to see, I’ll give you an example and I watched it in this room tonight by the way, I see it in a certain person. You’re going to see that you have a phony casualness about you. Why do you do that, why don’t you just simply see that you’re scared and that you’re nervous, that is called honesty and that’s the way to help, how can God help a person who refuses to accept help."

"Taking It All Too Hard"
No not this confused again
No not the same mistakes again.
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard

Why can't you see what's going on?
I know you'd never admit
You would ever be to blame
Everything's a game to you
The old days are gone
And they're better left alone
I cannot help you, it's much too late

Oh no not this confused again
Oh no not the same mistakes again.
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard

There's always a reason why it happened
You never never did anything wrong, but it
It just seemed to fall apart
But you're taking it all too hard

Now that it's dark, all of your fears,
Like shadows creeping around.
You're much too scared to look down
And it's lonely out on your own

The old days are gone
And they're better left alone
But I still miss you
I keep it to myself

Oh no not this confused again
Oh no not the same mistakes again
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard

Oh no not this confused again
Oh no not the same mistake again
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard

Oh no not this confused again
No no not the same mistakes again
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard

Oh no not this confused again
Oh no not the same mistakes again
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard

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

If looks could kill they probably will
In games without frontiers
War without tears
If looks could kill they probably will
In games without frontiers
War without tears
Games without frontiers
War without tears

Jeux sans frontières

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
War without tears
If looks could kill they probably will
In games without frontiers
War without tears
Games without frontiers
War without tears

Jeux sans frontières, Jeux sans frontières
Jeux sans frontières, Jeux sans frontières
Jeux sans frontières, Jeux sans frontières
Jeux sans frontières, Jeux sans frontières
Jeux sans frontières, Jeux sans frontiers
The lyric repeated at the beginning and end is "Jeux Sans Frontieres," which is French for "Games Without Frontiers."It is frequently misheard as "She's So Popular."
