TESTI SPANDAU BALLET, TESTO 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 tought me what to say in school
I learned off by heart
But now that's 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
We'll 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
There's 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
Fridays 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 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

Now we're fighting together,
As dogs of war
When the moon is shining,
And you're wrapped around our sins
Then our souls starts a-howling
And the show begins
Over where the city starts,
Something comes and slips into its heart
Snakes and lovers,
Try to shed our sins

But it's slipped beneath our skins
Snakes and lovers,
Holding on in the night
Are you sleeping tight?

With the poison in disguise
We had grown love together
In paradise
Now utopia's falling
And the messages are clear
That the evil is crawling,
And fear is near
Now temptation comes to try,
So I bite the apple of my eye
Snakes and lovers,
Try to shed our sins

But it's slipped beneath our skins

And all of the walls they are turning
And down on the streets where I walk,
The light on my eyes it is burning
So come on and take me, my dear
And bear the fruits of what we know
Then our minds will be clear,
And our hearts will not let go
Just one more step and we will be over

But it's slipped beneath our skins
Snakes and lovers,
Holding on in the night
Are you sleeping tight?
Holding on in the night

Well the way that I am as weak as a lamb,
See it on my shaky lip

That you could ever know
With the moon and the tide I'm drawn to your side

When the cold wind blows and I'm falling in,
Throw the line
Now I'm swept,
And I'm lost within my mind
On a love that makes me blind
And this feeling I just can't forget,

With my head in the sand,

And moving with the flow

I know I'll drown this time
When the cold wind blows and I'm falling in,
Throw the line

And I'm lost within my mind
On a love that makes me blind

but only as time evolved
and all of our strength dissolved

I've never felt so scared never dreamt such a dream
there's a man on the corner preaching fire above
it's a strange idea of love
like a wolf at the door
like a scratch of a claw
she says "come on baby I want it raw!"
a wolf at the door
a scratch of a claw
"I want it raw!"

TESTI SPANDAU BALLET, TESTO MOTIVATOR

I can make you feel so good
hold me by the arm
I can take your speckles of sweetness
and turn them into stars
I can make your dreams so real
just think what we could do
oh I could be your messiah
and I'll take you higher
and maybe I won't stop till I do
'cos I'm your motivator
I'm behind everything you do
yes I'm your motivator
if your heart is thumping
I can give you something
feel me with the crack of my whip.
I will be your inspiration
movin' in your soul
I'll be your little bit of muscle
and move and take control
I can be just simple persuasion
so take me as your guide
but when your mind is cooking
remember who's looking
'cos baby I'm that something inside
'cos I'm your motivator
I'm behind everything you do
yes I'm your motivator
if your head is reeling
get off on this feeling
hold me now and shoot from the hip.
Do do do
you give something something I need

TESTI SPANDAU BALLET, TESTO A MATTER OF TIME

He lays alone cries on his own
for horizons he'll never reach
and all of those dreams are washed on the beach.
She's drowing in oceans of shackled emotions
going round and around in her head
while out on the streets people forget
that it's love you want
love you want
love you want.
She speaks of hoping he speacks of fighting
and tells her that they will come through
'cause he wants to feel the shock of the new
people that hurt you and they burn you
with acid the falls that falls from the sky
while out of the silence your voice says why ?
If it's love you want
love you want
love you want
It's a matter of time a matter of time
but you're asking why oh life makes you cry?
Turn moss into roses and blood into wine.
It's a matter of time a matter of time
but all of your past still plays on your mind
and maybe tomorrow you'll live by design
it's a matter of time.
This isn't giving this isn't living
oh just days that pull you apart
and tears turn to rust that fall on steel hearts
so swallow youe maybes and cradle your babies
tell them that they will come through
their gonna feel the shock of the New
and if it's love you want
love you want
love you want
It's a matter of time a matter of time
but you're asking why oh life makes you cry?
Turn moss into roses and blood into wine.
It's a matter of time a matter of time
but all of your past still plays on your mind
and maybe tomorrow you'll live by design
it's a matter of time

TESTI SPANDAU BALLET, TESTO BIG FEELING

Come next September I'll be out upon the road again

and there's lighting here inside.
Oh come on darling now day has turned it's time for home
I won't forget that night we slept out on the beach alone
now the sun has come to take the moon and light the sky
Wave o'er me flow over me
and oh I feel like this is warning
oh I feel like ten feet tall
and don't ever let me down
don't ever let me down.
Big feeling
oh it's getting hard to hide
big feeling

and there's lighting here inside.
Don't ever let me down

like a river running growing wide
you are my thunder
and there's lighting here inside.

CONCERTI SPANDAU BALLET, TESTO CRASHED INTO LOVE

We stand alone
warmed by the light that reflects in your eyes
I feel inside an emotional storm
and a heart like a sky
this moment takes to somewhere unknown
and what I'm feeling is thrilled to the bone
been chasing rainbows all of my life
now I know that was wrong
I've found the gold deep in my soul
and I want to hang on
just one look of encouragement
and what I have here is Heaven sent
and hit from above
I just crashed into love
crashed into love
and I'm feeling that when powers inside
when forces collide
this can't be denied
and now it hits me
love overdrive
I try to stand my ground but I can't contrive
these are the days that we'll think that we dreamed
for the rest of our lives
this moment takes to somewhere unknown
and what I'm feeling is thrilled to the bone
and hit from above
I just crashed into love
crashed into love
and I'm feeling that when powers inside
when forces collide
this can't be denied
I just crashed into love
crashed into love
and I know that I was hit by surprise
between open eyes
emotions arise
and now we're living the June of our lives
in the heat of the day
we're on the eve of experience now
and nothing will take away
just one look of encouragement
and what I have here is Heaven sent
and sent from above
I just crashed into love
crashed into love
and I'm feeling that when powers inside
when forces collide
this can't be denied
I just crashed into love
crashed into love
and I know that I was hit by surprise
between open eyes
emotions arise
I just crashed into love

CONCERTI SPANDAU BALLET, TESTO BE FREE WITH YOUR LOVE

Be free with your love
free with your love
be free with your love
free with your love
two young babes in a foreign land
draw no milk from the dusty sand
close heir eyes from the night so cold

two old men on their different shores

life's your reward
so sing it to your Lord
be free with your love
free with your love
be free with your love
free with your love
science stands on threshold of life
man could be cut by a blow of its knife
time to live by a new resolution

things so dear should be free to let grow
so let your heart flow
and sing it to your soul

CONCERTI SPANDAU BALLET, TESTO ONCE MORE

I don't want to let you down
I just want the chance to turn myself around
I keep searching for the sound
I don't want to do you wrong
I just want to take us back where we belong
We were hot and we were oh so strong
Oh I know we will make it if we try
Reach for the stars and we can touch the sky
Darling, once more, won't you give me one more time
Say these words together
I need you more than ever
Trying once more
One more chance to make it right
Never say never, let's rise up together, take on the world
I don't want to change a thing
I don't want to change this whisper to a scream
Same old song in a different dream
Sorry I stole the show
I can't believe I had your heart and let it go
I always loved you but I didn't know
Oh there's nothing standing in our way
We've got the love but do we want to play
Darling, once more, won't you give me one more time
Say these words together
I need you more than ever
Trying once more
One more chance to make it right
Never say never, let's rise up together, take on the world

CONCERTI SPANDAU BALLET, TESTO MISSIONARY

The bells ring out above my room
and announcement of our loss
and in the act three men decide
and indefinite epilogue.
My letters have all gone
a journey that's unsure
a message that was rich
a hand that was poor.
Oh have me breath and let me go
cause I don't want you to know
cause I don't want you to know.
Oh I don't want you, want you, want you.
My own description may have failed
torn from pictures that were saved
along with images from words
that were saved and not erased
the shelves arranged above my head
a memory of my fears
blankets hold the smell of life
and soak the many years.
Oh have me breath and let me go
cause I don't want you to know
cause I don't want you to know.
Oh I don't want you, want you, want you.
Oh missionary are you here.
Sun doesn't burn when the water comes
but water doesn't come like the English rain
they bury their heads for self defence
a marked improvement through diligence
we are alone against our sins
alone against our sins
alone against our sins.
Vacant rooms that are full of men
that sit on the stools awaiting time
discussion leads to little sense
they bury their heads for self defence
we are alone against our sins
alone against our sins
alone against our sins

CONCERTI SPANDAU BALLET, TESTO INNOCENCE AND SCIENCE

Water from my mind
breaks the ropes and binds
water comes from inside
and frees me
Innocence and science.
Metal sings my name
poisoned love sustained
metal breaks me inside
and frees me
Innocence and science.
I will never forget

CONCERTI SPANDAU BALLET, TESTO PHARAOH

Going alone,going alone,going alone

Going alone,going alone,going alone

Going alone,going alone,going alone

CONCERTI SPANDAU BALLET, TESTO SHE LOVED LIKE DIAMOND

She ran the risk from unity
obsession dies alone with tragedy
she loved like diamond
she loved like diamond
and cut so hard
she died
a passion course that leads to pain
an acid taste that laced her soul again
she loved like diamond
she loved like diamond
and cut so hard
she died
Another path,I've run them all
The rain has cleared the stains,no trace at all
she loved like diamond
she loved like diamond
and cut so hard
she died

CONCERTI SPANDAU BALLET, TESTO COFFEE CLUB

Matthew didn't stay home,
he went abroad instead
journeys to glory breathing in his head
got caught up with shoe horns
but he could'nt get a shine
Matthew bought the rap
and read the map without a sign.
Contort yourself on disco
with a rap trap white and brown
caught within the spinning
the key-chain gang went down
no coffee club will have the rub
when product is your answer
discuss the man,he'll break your plan
it's deep within the dancer...
Wear it on your back now
and summerise your vision
on the train and through the strain
your own soul decision
well she had a certain shimmer
she sleeps with him tonight
stifled love decides where I'm dreaming...
No coffee club will have the rub
when product is your answer
discuss the man, he'll break your plan
it's deep within the dancer...
