Jean Jacques Goldman - Fears Lyrics

What should we have done?
What could we have done?
It's not our own choice
Fate has its own voice

That's just how it is here
You do just what you want
Life, gossip
Fears against fears

We found her rather weird
From the moment she appeared
She was in a world of her own

She never opened her mouth
Barely said hello
I warned the kids about 'er

She wasn't a bad-looking woman
But I found her rather common
Always the same form of gait
Unkempt hair, a very odd state

She used to ride in taxis
She used to smoke in the alleys
What did she do for a living?
I don't give a damn, I don't wanna know

Fears against fears, we're from here, she's from elsewhere
Fears against fears, one day she just took off
Leaving us standing with our fears against fears

We used to see a light
And so late at night
What could she
Be doing?
She didn't have a TV

She never had guests
She never got mail
The police came once
Oh no, that was next door

A reliable source
Said a neighbor came across her
Sitting in a car one night
But nothing would surprise me

They're born like that
Just like animals
That's what he told us
That guy from the colonies

CHORUS

What should we have done?
What could we have done?
It's not our own choice
Fate has its own voice

That's how it is here
You do just what you want
We don't ask for anything

What do you think?
It's the same thing
Our eyes and our ears
Better if they are kept closed

Everything's tough here
Locks are what we prefer
Not strangers

We found her rather weird
From the moment she appeared
She was in a world of her own
Don't include me, leave me alone

She never opened her mouth
Barely said hello
I warned the kids about 'er
We don't want no disaster

No fuss
