  • Roger Waters: When The Tigers Broke Free
  • ----------------------------------------
  • It was just before dawn
  • One miserable morning in black '44
  • 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  • When he asked that his men be withdrawn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 kind 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.Report error in lyric
