1. When the Tigers Broke Free
--------------------------

C Gsus C
It was just before dawn one miserable morning in black forty-four

C
When the foreward commander was told to sit tight,

F/C C
When they asked that his men be withdrawn

C
And the generals gave thanks, as the other ranks

Gsus C
Held back the enemy tanks for a while

C Gsus
And the Anzio Bridgehead was held for the price

C
Of a few hundred ordinary lives

C G C G
And kind old King George sent Mother a note when he heard that Father
was gone

C G C
It was, I recall, in the form of a scroll with gold leaf and all

C
And I found it one day in a drawer of old photographs hidden away

C Gsus
And my eyes still grow damp to remember

C
His Majesty signed with his own rubber stamp

C G C
It was dark all around, there was frost on the ground

G
When the Tigers broke free

C
And no-one survived from the Royal Fusiliers, Company "C"

G C G C
They were all left behind, most of them dead - the rest of them dying

C G C
And that's how the high command took my daddy from me

Cm
If you wanna find out what's behind these cold eyes?

E
You'll just have to claw your way through this disguise

9. What Shall We Do Now ? (Empty Spaces has no chords, just bass.
---- ----- -- -- --- - I don't have the chords to What Shall ...)

What shall we use to fill the empty spaces
Where waves of hunger roar
Shall we set out across this sea of faces
In search of more and more applause
Shall we buy a new guitar
Shall we drive a more powerful car
Shall we work straight - through the night
Shall we get into fights
Leave the lights on
Drop bombs
Do tours of the East
Contract diseases
Bury bones
Break up homes
Send flowers by phone
Take to drink
Go to shrinks
Give up meat
Rarely sleep
Keep people as pets
Train dogs
Race rats
Fill the attic with cash
Bury treasure
Store up leisure
But never relax at all
With out backs to the wall

10. Young Lust

Ooooooooh I need a dirty girl.

Nothing is very much fun anymore.

Don't look so frightened

This is just a passing phase

One of my bad days

Or get between the sheets?

And the worms ate into his brain.

Hey you! out there on the road

Doing what you're told, can you help me
