# It was just before dawn one miserable morning in black forty-four
#
#
# When the foreward commander was told to sit tight,
#
#
# When they asked that his men be withdrawn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 on the ground
#
#
# When the Tigers broke free
#
#
# And no-one survived from the Royal Fusiliers, Company ""
#
#
# 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
#
#
# In The Flesh ?
#
#
#
#
# So ya thought ya might like to go to the show
#
#
# To feel the warm thrill of confusion
#
#
# That space cadet glow
#
#
# Tell me is something eluding you sunshine?
#
#
# Is this not what you expected to see?
#
#
# If you wanna find out what's behind these cold eyes?
#
#
# You'll just have to claw your way through this disguise

#
#
# If you should go skating
#
#
# On the thin ice of modern life
#
#
# Dragging behind you the silent reproach
#
#
# Of a million tear stained eyes
#
#
# Dont be surprised, when a crack in the ice
#
#
# Appears under your feet
#
#
# You slip out of your depth and out of your mind
#
#
# With your fear flowing out behind you

# The Happiest Days of our Lives
#
#
#
#
# When we grew up and went to school
#
#
# There were certain teachers who would
#
#
# Hurt the children any way they could
#
#
# By pouring their derision upon anything we did
#
#
# Exposing every weakness, however carefully hidden by the kids
#
#
# But in the town it was well known when they got home at night
#
#
# Their fat and psychopathic wives would thrash them
#
#
# Within inches of their lives

# Shall we work straight - through the night
# Shall we get into fights

# Contract diseases
# Bury bones
# Break up homes
# Send flowers by phone
# Take to drink
# Go to shrinks
