For a Few Dollars More - Live @ Gruga-Halle Essen, 1978

Rich girl she buys her dreams.
It's a rich world behind the scenes.
Green eyes they tell it all.
The more she takes the harder they fall.
She ain't easy and she ain't tough.
She's had it good, but then she's had it rough. And I guess it don't come to much.
Cos with everything she's got she's never got enough.
So she'll cry just a little for a few dollars more.
She'll lie just a little like she's done it before. She'll take it, she'll fake it for a few dollars more.
She'll show you her heart, then show you the door.
You know she'll die just a little for a few dollars more.
Even fly just a little like she's done it before. She'll take it, she'll fake it for a few dollars more.
She'll show you her heart, then show you the door.
Strange things can happen to you.
When you've got so much and you've got nothing
To do.
Oh oh oh what do you know.
How do you get there when there's nowhere to go.
And so you wonder just what she'll do.
She's never known love but then she's never known you.
And it's too bad those sad green eyes.
Are so full of questions and so full of lies., repeat

Pour quelques dollars de plus - Live @ Gruga-Halle Essen, 1978

Fille riche, tu achètes tes rêves.
C'est un monde riche derrière les coulisses.
Tes yeux verts, ils disent tout.
Plus tu prends, plus ils tombent.
Tu n'es pas facile et tu n'es pas dure.
Tu as eu une vie facile, mais tu as aussi connu des moments difficiles. Et je suppose que ça ne sert à rien.
Car avec tout ce que tu as, tu n'as jamais assez.
Alors tu pleureras un peu pour quelques dollars de plus.
Tu mentiras un peu comme tu l'as déjà fait. Tu prendras, tu simuleras pour quelques dollars de plus.
Tu me montreras ton cœur, puis tu me montreras la porte.
Tu sais que tu mourras un peu pour quelques dollars de plus.
Tu volerras un peu comme tu l'as déjà fait. Tu prendras, tu simuleras pour quelques dollars de plus.
Tu me montreras ton cœur, puis tu me montreras la porte.
Des choses étranges peuvent t'arriver.
Quand tu as tellement de choses et que tu n'as rien
à faire.
Oh oh oh, que sais-tu.
Comment y arriver quand il n'y a nulle part où aller.
Et tu te demandes ce que tu feras.
Tu n'as jamais connu l'amour, mais tu ne m'as jamais connu.
Et c'est dommage que ces tristes yeux verts.
Soient si pleins de questions et si pleins de mensonges., repeat
