ฟังเพลงWhen the Tigers Broke Free (Remaster)

It was just before dawn

One miserable morning

In black 'forty four

When the forward commander

Was told to sit tight

When he asked that

His men be withdrawn

And the Generals gave thanks

As the other ranks held back

The enemy tanks for a while

And the Anzio bridgehead

Was held for the price

Of a few hundred ordinary lives

And old King George

Sent Mother a note

When he heard that

Father was gone

It was I recall

In the form of a scroll

With gold leaf and all

And I found it one day

In a drawer of old 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 that's how the High Command

Took my daddy from me
