When the Tigers Broke Free (Remaster) - Pink Floyd (平克·弗洛依德)[00:00:01]

It was just before dawn[00:01:01]

One miserable morning[00:01:03]

In black 'forty four.[00:01:07]

When the forward commander[00:01:10]

Was told to sit tight[00:01:13]

When he asked that[00:01:16]

His men be withdrawn.[00:01:17]

And the Generals gave thanks[00:01:23]

As the other ranks held back[00:01:26]

The enemy tanks for a while.[00:01:29]

And the Anzio bridgehead[00:01:33]

Was held for the price[00:01:36]

Of a few hundred ordinary lives.[00:01:39]

And old King George[00:01:46]

Sent Mother a note[00:01:47]

When he heard that[00:01:51]

Father was gone.[00:01:53]

It was, I recall,[00:01:57]

In the form of a scroll,[00:01:59]

With gold leaf and all.[00:02:03]

And I found it one day[00:02:08]

In a drawer of old photographs,[00:02:11]

Hidden away.[00:02:15]

And my eyes still[00:02:18]

Grow damp to remember[00:02:20]

His Majesty signed[00:02:22]

With his own rubber stamp.[00:02:24]

It was dark all around.[00:02:31]

There was frost in the ground[00:02:33]

When the tigers broke free.[00:02:36]

And no one survived[00:02:42]

From the Royal Fusiliers Company C.[00:02:45]

They were all left behind,[00:02:53]

Most of them dead,[00:02:56]

The rest of them dying.[00:02:59]

And that's how the High Command[00:03:05]

Took my daddy from me.[00:03:08]
