Barricade Lyrics

Barricade lyrics

Trapped on the terraces

I looked at you and knew

You were the only thing that mattered

There was no one for me but you



In Harmony Street would beat a man

Just for standing there

I held my breath as I watched you swing

And run your fingers through your hair



Oh, how could anyone not love

The terrible things you do

Oh, how could anyone not want

To try and help you



In Burmancy, in Burberry

You held me at the barricade

The pigs arrived with tear gas

And I wiped through the mistakes we made



We stalked the streets like animals

And danced as windows shattered

For the island, for the thrill of it

For everything that mattered



Oh, how could anyone not want

To rip it all apart

Oh, how could anyone not love

Your cold black heart



I found you on a Saturday

And that was where I lost you

You had to finally walk away

Because of what it cost you



Years later on, I saw your face

In line to catch the morning train

You looked like you'd been suffering

Like you'd never really loved the plane



Oh, how could anyone

Not finally diminish

The thrill of blood comes instantly

There's only darkness at the finish



Meet me at the barricade

I'll be at the barricade

Meet me at the barricade

The love died but the hate can't fade

I'll be at the barricade

The love died but the hate can't fade
