《When the Tigers Broke Free(Remaster)》歌词

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

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

[00:01:03] One miserable morning

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

[00:01:10] When the forward commander

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

[00:01:16] When he asked that

[00:01:17] His men be withdrawn.

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

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

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

[00:01:33] And the Anzio bridgehead

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

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

[00:01:46] And old King George

[00:01:47] Sent Mother a note

[00:01:51] When he heard that

[00:01:53] Father was gone.

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:15] Hidden away.

[00:02:18] And my eyes still

[00:02:20] Grow damp to remember

[00:02:22] His Majesty signed

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

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

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

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

[00:02:42] And no one survived

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

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

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

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

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

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