Spandau Ballet - THROUGH THE BARRICADES lyrics

rate me

Mother doesn't know where love has gone

She says it must be youth

That keeps us feeling strong

I See it in her face, that's turned to ice

And when she smiles she shows

The lines of sacrifice

And now I know what they're saying

As our sun begins to fade

And we made our love on wasteland

And through the barricades

Father made my history

He fought for what he thought

Would set us somehow free

He tought me what to say in school

I learned it off by heart

But now that's torn in two

And now I know what they're saying

In the music of the parade

And We made our love on wasteland

And through the barricades

Born on different sides of life

We feel the same

And feel all of this strife

So come to me when I'm asleep

We'll cross the lines

And dance upon the streets

And now I know what they're saying

As the drums begin to fade

We made our love on wasteland

And through the barricades

Oh, turn around and I'll be there

Well There's a scar right through my heart

But I'll bare it again

Oh I thought we were the human race

But we were just another border-line-case

And the stars reach out and tell us

That there's always one escape

I don't know where love has gone

And in this trouble land

Desperation keep us strong

Fridays child is full of soul

With nothing left to lose

There's everything to go

And now I know what they're saying

It's a terrible beauty we've made

So we make our love on wasteland

And through the barricades

Now I know what they're are saying

as our hearts go to their graves

we made our love on wasteland

Oh oh oh through the barricades.
