Spandau Ballet - Through The Barricade

딴 때 같으면 이런 포스팅에는 당연히 아티스트, 앨범 사진을 올리는 것이 당연할 것이지만, 어제 이 사진을 보고 이 노래가 생각났기에, 이번에는 이 사진을 머리로 올렸다. 정말 MB정부는 국민을 뭘로 아는 것인가? 저 콘테이너 박스로 이루어진 '명박산성'을 마음 같아선 무너뜨리고 싶은 이들이 어제 많았을 것이다. 하지만, 촛불의 힘은 그 장벽(Barricade)를 언젠가는 뚫을 수 있을 테니... 모두 마음과 힘을 모아야 하겠지? 이 노래는 우리에게 [True]로 잘 알려져있는 영국의 뉴 로맨틱스 밴드 스팬다우 발레(Spandau Ballet)가 87년 발표했던 히트곡으로, 국내에도 황인용의 영팝스를 통해 자주 애청되었던 트랙이다.

1. SPANDAU BALLET - THROUGH THE BARRICADES

Mother doesn't know where love has gone
She says it must be youth
That keeps us feeeling strong
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
When the 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 thats 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
Well cross the line
And dance upon the street

And now I know what they're saying
When the drums begin to fade
We made our love on wasteland
And through the barricades

Oh, turn around and I'll be there
Theres a scar through my heart
But I'll bare it again
I thought we were the human race
But we were just another border-line-case
And the stars reach down and tell us
That there's always one escape

I don't know where love has gone
And in this trouble land
Desperation keep 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'll 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
And through the barricades
