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
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...

This is one of my most favorite songs to exist 💖
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.
