This is probably the only Spandau Ballet song that I like... I can't completely figure it out, but it's definitely about two lovers, separated in the beginning by social class, race, religion, something like that... but with the support of their parents, if not of society, they end up together. Maybe about a Catholic and Protestant couple in Northern Ireland, talking about "this troubled land" -- although when I first heard it, I thought of Tolkien's tale of Beren and Luthien :)

The 'terrible beauty' reffered to here is the name that the Irish poet W B Yeates gave to the IRA's emergence when the 'Troubles' took hold. Beautiful song, Beautiful Poet

And now I know what they're are saying
It's a terrible beauty we've made
So we make our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
And now I know what they're are saying

So we make our love on wasteland
