《When the Tigers Broke Free》歌词

[00:00:00] When the Tigers Broke Free - The Hit Co. (热歌公司)

[00:01:26] It was just before dawn

[00:01:29] One miserable morning in black 'forty four

[00:01:37] When the forward commander

[00:01:40] Was told to sit tight

[00:01:42] When he asked that his men be withdrawn

[00:01:48] And the Generals gave thanks

[00:01:51] As the other ranks held back

[00:01:54] The enemy tanks for a while

[00:01:58] And the Anzio bridgehead

[00:02:01] Was held for the price

[00:02:03] Of a few hundred ordinary lives

[00:02:11] And kind old King George

[00:02:13] Sent Mother a note

[00:02:17] When he heard that father was gone

[00:02:22] It was I recall

[00:02:24] In the form of a scroll

[00:02:27] With gold leaf adorned

[00:02:33] And I found it one day

[00:02:36] In a drawer of old photographs hidden away

[00:02:43] And my eyes still grow damp to remember

[00:02:48] His Majesty signed

[00:02:50] With his own rubber stamp

[00:02:56] It was dark all around

[00:02:59] There was frost in the ground

[00:03:03] When the tigers broke free

[00:03:07] And no one survived

[00:03:10] From the Royal Fusiliers Company Z

[00:03:18] They were all left behind

[00:03:22] Most of them dead

[00:03:24] The rest of them dying

[00:03:30] And that's how the High Command

[00:03:34] Took my daddy from me
