Barricade |
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 we beat a man |
Just for standing there |
I held my breath as I watched you swing |
Then 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 Bermondsey in Burberry, you held me at the barricade |
The pigs arrived with tear gas |
And I wept at 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 softened |
Like you never really loved the pain |
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 won’t fade |
