Stars - 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 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 our 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 finally walk away because of what it cost you, years later when 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...

    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

    Torquil's voice is so much stronger and emotional in this album than anywhere else in their discography and honestly I will love it until the day I die. This song, In Our Bedroom After the War, and so many others are just beautiful beyond compare

    This song is so gorgeous.
