When The Tigers Broke Free (2011 - Remaster) - Pink Floyd (平克·弗洛依德)[00:00:00]
It was just before dawn[00:00:55]
One miserable morning in black '44[00:00:58]
When the forward commander[00:01:05]
Was told to sit tight[00:01:08]
When he asked that his men be withdrawn[00:01:11]
And the generals gave thanks[00:01:18]
As the other ranks[00:01:21]
Held back the enemy tanks for a while[00:01:23]
And the Anzio bridghead was held for the price[00:01:28]
Of a few hundred ordinary lives[00:01:34]
And kind old King George sent mother a note[00:01:41]
When he heard that father was gone[00:01:46]
It was I recall in the form of a scroll[00:01:52]
With gold leaf and all[00:01:58]
And I found it one day[00:02:03]
In a drawer of old photographs hidden away[00:02:06]
And my eyes still grow damp[00:02:13]
To remember[00:02:15]
That his majesty signed[00:02:17]
With his own rubber stamp[00:02:20]
It was dark all around[00:02:26]
There was frost in the ground[00:02:28]
When the tigers broke free[00:02:31]
And no one survived from the Royal Fusiliers[00:02:37]
Company see[00:02:43]
They were all left behind[00:02:48]
Most of them dead[00:02:52]
The rest of them dying[00:02:54]
And that's how the high command[00:03:00]
Took my daddy from me[00:03:03]
