    Lyrics:
    YOUR POSSIBLE PASTS
    They flutter behind you your possible pasts
    Some brightened and crazy some frightened and lost
    A warning to anyone still in command
    Of their possible future to take care
    In derelict sidings the poppies entwine
    With cattle trucks lying in wait for the next time
    Do you remember me? how we used to be?
    Do you think we should be closer?
    She stood in the doorway the ghost of a smile
    Haunting her face like a cheap hotel sign
    Her cold eyes imploring the men in their macs
    For the gold in their bags or the knives in their backs
    Stepping uo boldly one put out his hand
    He said, " I was just a child then now I'm only a man"
    Do you remember me? how we used to be?
    Do you think we should be closer?
    By the cold and religious we were taken in hand
    Shown how to feel good and told to feel bad
    Tongue tied and terrified we learned how to pray
    Now our feelings run deep and cold as the clay
    And strung out behind us the banners and flags
    Of our possible pasts lie in tatters and rags
    Do you remember me? how we used to be?
    Do you think we should be closer?

    ONE OF THE FEW
    When you're one of the few,
    To land on your feet.
    What do you do to make ends meet?
    (Teach)
    Make 'em mad
    Make 'em sad
    Make 'em add two and two
    Make 'em me
    Make 'em you
    Make 'em do what you want them to
    Make 'em laugh
    Make 'em cry
    Make 'em lay down and die

    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    When he asked that his men be withdrawn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 bridghead 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
    That 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 see
    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
