Through the Barricades (Remastered)

Through the Barricades (Remastered) - Spandau Ballet

Written by：Gary Kemp

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

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 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
