Cool song. Here are some lyrics that I believe are more accurate, per Stars Online Journal page.
Trapped on the terraces
I looked at you anew
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 sleep
And run your fingers through your hair
Oh how could anyone not love the terrible things that you do?
Oh 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 stopped (stocked?) 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 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 can’t fade
