Through the Barricades

Vocal: Spandau Ballet

Mother doesn't know where love has gone,
She says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong.
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.
They 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 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,
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
and through the barricades.
