Spandau Ballet - Through The Barricades

Through The Barricades Mother doesn’t know where love has gone She says it must be youth That keeps us feeeling 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 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 line 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 There’s a scar through my heart But I’ll bare it again I thought we were the human race But we were just another border-line-case And the stars reach down 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 saying As the hearts go to their graves We made our love on wasteland And through the barricades.
