THROUGH THE BARRICADES          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 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

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 SHEN 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 BEGINS FO 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 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

OH, I DON'T KNOW WHERE LOVE HAS GONE

AND IN THIS TROUBLED LAND DESPERATION KEEPS US STRONG

FRIDAY'S CHILD IS PULL OF SOUL, WITH NOTHING

LEFT TO LOSE THERE'S EVERYTHING TO GO

AND NOW I KNOW WHAT THEY'RE SAYING

IT'S A TERRIBLE BEATY 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
