Runrig — Big Songs of Hope and Cheer

[Verse 1] The satellites are raining down on the international room There's nothing secret, nothing sacred anymore All the soldiers of the world are turning history around They're with me now, they're breaking down the door [Chorus] Pictures in a room - I can't take it anymore Pictures in a room - somebody help me please 'Cause I can't sing the paeans of hope In a torn world (Yeah) [Verse 2] One mother's daughter's seen her brothers taken to the shadowlands Now she's waiting for six soldiers to return And another mother's daughter's down on Channel 21 She's opened up her life to let it burn [Verse 3] And the satellites are raining down on a Sunday afternoon She's open for the world to take it all Where we face our sweetest demons in the hands of flesh and love She's aching at the stations of the fall [Chorus] Pictures in a room - I can't take it anymore Have I awakened to a strange land Pictures in a room - somebody help me please 'Cause I can't sing the paeans of hope In a torn world [Bridge] And the company say, give us more of these Big songs of hope and cheer Hits and hooks and riffs that shine as new And the refugees come in, live and dying Miles across the snow And there's nothing that this stunning world can do Pictures in a room [Chorus] Pictures in a room - I can't take it anymore Have I awakened to a strange land Pictures in a room - somebody help me please 'Cause I can't sing the paeans of hope In a torn world Pictures in a room - I can't take it anymore Have I awakened to a strange land Pictures in a room - somebody help me please 'Cause I can't sing the paeans of hope In a torn world
