When the Tigers Broke Free - The Hit Co. (热歌公司)[00:00:00]
It was just before dawn[00:01:26]
One miserable morning in black 'forty four[00:01:29]
When the forward commander[00:01:37]
Was told to sit tight[00:01:40]
When he asked that his men be withdrawn[00:01:42]
And the Generals gave thanks[00:01:48]
As the other ranks held back[00:01:51]
The enemy tanks for a while[00:01:54]
And the Anzio bridgehead[00:01:58]
Was held for the price[00:02:01]
Of a few hundred ordinary lives[00:02:03]
And kind old King George[00:02:11]
Sent Mother a note[00:02:13]
When he heard that father was gone[00:02:17]
It was I recall[00:02:22]
In the form of a scroll[00:02:24]
With gold leaf adorned[00:02:27]
And I found it one day[00:02:33]
In a drawer of old photographs hidden away[00:02:36]
And my eyes still grow damp to remember[00:02:43]
His Majesty signed[00:02:48]
With his own rubber stamp[00:02:50]
It was dark all around[00:02:56]
There was frost in the ground[00:02:59]
When the tigers broke free[00:03:03]
And no one survived[00:03:07]
From the Royal Fusiliers Company Z[00:03:10]
They were all left behind[00:03:18]
Most of them dead[00:03:22]
The rest of them dying[00:03:24]
And that's how the High Command[00:03:30]
Took my daddy from me[00:03:34]
