Pink Floyd - When the tigers broke free
------------------------------------------

It was just before down 
one miserable morning in black fourty-four 
when the Forward Commander was told to sit tight when the asked that his men be withdrawn 
and the Generals gave thanks as the other ranks held back the enemy thanks for a while 
and the Anzio Brighthead was held for the price 
of a few hundred ordinary lives 

And kind old King George 
sent Mother a note 
when he heard that Father was gone 
it was, it recall, in the form of a scroll 
with gold leaf and all 
and I found it one day 
in a drawer of photographs 
hidden away 
and my eyes still grow damp 
to remember His Majesty 
signed with his own rubber stamp 

It was dark all around 
there was frost in the ground 
when the tigers broke free 
and no one survived 
from the Royal Fusiliers Company C 
they were all left behind 
most of them dead 
the rest of them dying 
and thats how the High Command took my Daddy from me.
