[00:00.00]Picking Up the Pieces - Robb Metro
[00:19.36]We ride the train to work and read the news
[00:24.19]The news is bad again what else is new
[00:28.92]The pensioner who's murdered on page four
[00:33.85]Page six has more bombs in a far off war
[00:38.65]But then you see the skyline
[00:41.05]And the river in the sunlight
[00:43.25]And every day it takes your breath away
[00:48.01]And you look at all the faces with
[00:50.36]Their stories and their secrets
[00:53.48]Getting through another working day
[00:59.42]And our leaders making speeches
[01:03.44]They're very good at making speeches
[01:08.05]How our soldiers have to be there
[01:12.28]And how we will not surrender
[01:16.56]But you never see them riding on your train
[01:34.60]We ride the train back home and read the news
[01:39.13]There's not much on TV what else is new
[01:43.68]The beggars hold out hands to catch the night
[01:48.47]The smart hotels and cafes shine so bright
[01:52.98]But then you see the skyline
[01:55.11]And the bridges with their lamplight
[01:57.40]And even now it takes your breath away
[02:01.61]And you look at all the faces
[02:03.56]With their stories and their secrets
[02:07.17]Winding down another working day
[02:13.20]And our leaders making speeches
[02:17.04]They're very good at making speeches
[02:21.30]How our soldiers have to be there
[02:25.28]And how we will not surrender
[02:29.41]But you never see them riding on your train
[02:47.22]We ride the train to work and read the news
[02:51.79]You thank your lucky stars it wasn't you
[02:56.31]It wasn't you in Baghdad or Madrid
[03:00.61]Or on the train from King's Cross
[03:02.83]When the bombs came home
[03:06.02]Picking up the pieces picking up the pieces
[03:13.90]Picking up the pieces picking up the pieces
[03:21.80]And our leaders making speeches
[03:25.73]How our soldiers have to be there
[03:29.66]And how we will not surrender
[03:33.73]And you're picking up the pieces
[03:37.80]But you never see them riding on your train
[03:41.89]You never see them riding on your train
[03:45.69]You never see them riding on your train
[03:48.49]When the bombs come home
[03:52.46]When the bombs come home
[03:56.30]When the bombs come home
[04:00.38]When the bombs come home
[04:04.20]When the bombs come
