[English]

There were rules you never told me

Never came up with a plan

All the stories that you sold me

Didn't help me understand

But I had to get it worked out

Had nobody who could help

So then in the end it turned out

That I had to do it

By myself

Life's a game

Rags and riches

Dogs and bitches hunt for fame

Difficult to know which way to turn

Lay the blame

On the snitches

Wicked witches fan the flame

Careful what you touch in case you burn

Queenie eye, queenie eye, who's got the ball?

I haven't got it

It isn't in my pocket

O-U-T spells out (out)

That's out (out)

Without a shadow of a doubt

'Cause you've been putting it about

Hear the people shout

Hear the people shout

Play the game

Take your chances

Every dance is much the same

Doesn't matter which event you choose

Never blame

Circumstances

If romances seldom came

Never pick a fight you're gonna lose

Queenie eye, queenie eye, who's got the ball?

I haven't got it

It isn't in my pocket

O-U-T spells out (out)

That's out (out)

Without a shadow of a doubt

'Cause you've been putting it about (out)

Hear the people shout

Hear the people shout

Its long way, to the finish

When you've never been before

I was nervous, but I did it

Now I'm going back for more

...

Queenie eye, queenie eye, who's got the ball?

I havent got it

It isn't in my pocket

O-U-T spells out (out)

That's out (out)

Without a shadow of a doubt (out)

'Cause you've been putting it about (out)

Hear the people shout (out)

Hear the people shout (out)

Queenie eye, queenie eye, who's got the ball?

I havent got it

It isn't in my pocket

O-U-T spells out (out)

That's out (out)

Without a shadow of a doubt (out)

'Cause you've been putting it about (out)

Hear the people shout (out)

Hear the people shout (out)

Hear the people shout
