It was just before dawn one miserable morning in black forty-four
CWhen the foreward commander was told to sit tight,
F/C CWhen they asked that his men be withdrawn
And the generals gave thanks, as the other ranks
Gsus CHeld back the enemy tanks for a while
C GsusAnd the Anzio Bridgehead was held for the price
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 CIt 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
C GsusAnd my eyes still grow damp to remember
CHis Majesty signed with his own rubber stamp
It was dark all around, there was frost on the ground
GWhen the Tigers broke free
CAnd no-one survived from the Royal Fusiliers, Company "C"
They were all left behind, most of them dead - the rest of them dying
C G CAnd that's how the high command took my daddy from me

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
Am C AmHurt the children any way they could
Am FBy pouring their derision upon anything we did
Exposing every weakness, however carefully hidden by the kids
D BbBut in the town it was well known when they got home at night
GmTheir fat and psychopathic wives would thrash them
Within inches of their lives

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

Like the skin of a dying man

DmBut I have grown older and
You have grown colder and
Dm G7Nothing is very much fun anymore.
C Em F CAnd I can feel one of my turns coming on.
I feel, cold as a razor blade
DmTight as a tourniquet
Dm G7Dry as a funeral drum
Run to the bedroom, in the suitcase on the left
C7 Dm Bb E7 Dm Am Dm AmYou'll find my favourite axe

This is just a passing phase
DmOne of my bad days

Hey you! out there on your own

Waiting for someone to call out would you touch me

Hey you! out there on the road

The jury to retire
In all my years of judging

The full penalty of law

Your exquisite wife and mother
Fills me with the urge to defecate
FmSince, my friend, you have revealed your
Deepest fear
I sentence you to be exposed before
Your peers.

Banging your heart against some mad buggers
