Spandau Ballet Through the Barricades song lyrics

Mother doesn't know where love has gone

she says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong.

I see a little 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 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

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.
