THROUGH THE BARRICADES Lyrics Artist(Band):Spandau Ballet
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 We feel the same And feel all of this strife So come to me when I'm asleep We'll cross the lines And dance upon the streets And now I know what they're saying As the drums begin to fade 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 border-line-case And the stars reach out and tell us That there's always one escape I don't know where love has gone And in this troubled land Desperation keep us strong Fridays 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 Now I know what they're are saying as our hearts go to their graves we made our love on wasteland Oh oh oh through the barricades.

Review about THROUGH THE BARRICADES Spandau's Barricades | Reviewer: Patti Birch | 9/7/2007 Is this review helpful to you? Yes No A Barricade for Life | Reviewer: Georgie | 3/31/2006 The very first time i heard this song i was captivated by the music, you see i am deaf and will not hear the words until i have looked them up on a site like this one. so i had the ability to concentrate on the wonderful musical qualities of the song before later hearing the story which goes with it. tony hadley sings wonderfully on this record and the music is very well matched to his voice. "he fought for what he thought" a wonderful play on words that adds to the song. the highs of wasteland when sung lifts the song up and gives it integrity. it makes you think about barricades in your own life, how does one cope with mental blocks, physical stops or barricades. this song in my oppinion is a message to people that they can go through their own barricades, and that nothing should stop them in life. something i have found useful in my own life struggling with an illness such as deafness, but take a listen to this song, listen carefully, and you will all hear a great song, but analyse it in many different ways. either way well done boys on such a great song, which reminds me of love made on wasteland, through the barricades Is this review helpful to you? Yes No A winner from Hadley and the Kemps. | Reviewer: Steve | 6/8/2005 Spandau Ballet were the nice boys of New Romance. While the bandana-wearing Durans caroused on beaches with bikini clad women, the Spandau's wore nice suits from C&A , sang with their hands over their hearts and felt every word. Okay so some of it was cliched nonsense and a great deal smacked of Hallmark mock sincerity but just every now and then with one line Spandau Ballet would find their way into your 13 year old heart and you'd just get them. With 'Through the Barricades' they've attempted to combine a love song with a little social commentary. The song is set in a 'troubled' Belfast, a couple who come from different sides of the Protestant / Catholic, Loyalist / Republican divide, its a Romeo and Juliet for contemporary Britain. It speaks of untamed love crossing all boundaries and the release that their relationship gives them over their troubled existence "So come to me when I'm asleep, we'll cross the lines and dance upon the street". Its a timeless theme, love and passion helps the young sould escape the most dire situations from Springsteen being Born to Run to Rod Stewart and his Yojng Turks we've all felt it sometime. Ultimately it falls short because they havent been there, their writing from imagination and hearsay and though you try to forget you ca't help but feel it lacks a little experience. For all that its a beautiful little melody with some lovely guitar runs and some great vocal work from Tony Hadley. Is this review helpful to you?
