Pictures on My Wall Lyrics
Can you hear it?
The sound of something burning
Something changing
On the merry-go-round tonight
The pictures on my wall
Are about to swing and fall
Love it all, love it all
Ooh, we should have
Should have got it right
Ooh, we should have
Should have got it right tonight
People come, I count everyone
Faces burning, hearts beating
Nowhere left for us to run
The pictures on my wall
Are about to swing and fall
Love it all, love it all
Ooh, we should have
Should have got it right
Ooh, we should have
Should have got it right tonight
Can you hear it?
The sound of someone thinking
Someone thinking
On the merry-go-round tonight
The pictures on my wall
Are about to swing and fall
Love it all, love it all
The sound of something burning
Something changing
On the merry-go-round tonight
Are about to swing and fall
Love it all, love it all
Should have got it right
Ooh, we should have
Should have got it right tonight
Faces burning, hearts beating
Nowhere left for us to run
Are about to swing and fall
Love it all, love it all
Should have got it right
Ooh, we should have
Should have got it right tonight
The sound of someone thinking
Someone thinking
On the merry-go-round tonight
Are about to swing and fall
Love it all, love it all

The 'pictures' seem to be a metaphor for an influential authority figure; ie. a picture of Stalin could swing and fall when damning information came out about him, etc.
The song as a whole sounds like it's about political upheaval or revolution.
