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

And 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

Ooh how could anyone not love
the terrible things that you do?

Ooh how could anyone not want
to try and help you?

In Burmansy and Burbury you held me at the barricade
The pigs arrived with tear gas
and I wept here for 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

Ooh how could anyone not want
to rip it all apart?

Ooh 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

Ooh 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
