Through The Barricades

In the style of

Spandau Ballet

Lyrics

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 taught 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

but we feel the same

and feel all of this strife

so come to me
when i'm asleep

and we'll cross the line
so 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

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 borderline case

and the stars
reach down and tell us

that there's always one escape

oh, i don't know where

love has gone

and in this troubled land
desperation keeps us strong
friday's 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

and now i know
what they're saying

as our hearts go
to their graves

and we made
our love on wasteland

runnin' through
the barricades
