At the risk of being redundant with the thousands of other replies that
will be posted... It's french for "games without frontiers": "Jeux sans
front`iers".

>Also, what album is that song from? 

PG's third solo album (PGIII) (arguably his best (and not just because Kate
is singing backup...)).

As long as we're on the subject, has anyone deciphered who all the people
mentioned in the song are? Adolf and Enrico are pretty obvious, but what
about Hans, Lotte, Jane, Willi, Suki, Leo, Britt, Andre, Chiang Ching, and
Lin Tai Yu? Are these real people or are they just metaphors for counties?
