Through The Barricades (New 2009 Studio Recording) Lyrics

Spandau Ballet

Through The Barricades

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.

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.

They taught me what to say in school,

I learned it off my heart

but now that's torn in two.

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.

And we made our love on wasteland

and through the barricades.

Oh, turn around and I'll be there.

There's a scar right through my heart

but I'll bear it again.

Oh, I thought we were the human race

but we were just another borderline case.

And the stars reach down

and tell us

there's always one escape.

Oh...

I don't know where love has gone

♪♪ ♪♪

and in this troubled land

desperation keeps us strong.

Fridays child is full of soul

♪♪ ♪♪

with nothing left to lose

there's everything to go.

Now I know

what they're saying,

it's a terrible beauty we made.

We make our love on wasteland

and through the barricades.

Now I know

what they're saying

as our hearts go to their graves.

We made our love on

waste land

and through

the barricades.
