Spandau Ballet

Spandau Ballet is an English band formed in London in the late 1970s. Initially inspired by, and an integral part of, the New Romantic movement, they were one of the most successful bands of the 1980s, achieving ten Top Ten singles and four Top Ten albums in the UK between 1980 and 1990. The band split acrimoniously in 1990, but reunited in 2009. more »

Mother doesn't know where love has gone 
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 
'Cause 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 
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 line 
And dance upon the street 

And now I know what they're saying 
There's the drums begin to fade 
We made our love on wasteland 
And through the barricades 
 
Oh, turn around and I'll be there
Oh, there's a scar 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 
There's always one escape 

Oh, I don't know where love has gone 
And in this trouble 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 are 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 hearts go to their graves
We made our love on wasteland 
Oh, and through the barricades
