Tigermoth Lyrics - Steve Hackett

Just like his old father before him 

Who served in the great war would sing 

We're proud to serve Kaiser or King 

They'll always find someone who's willing 

To take Tigermoth chances alone 

The boy who should never have flown 

Was thrown a hundred yards 

Blown into smithereens 

A crowd drew near but failed to hear 

Look I'm over here and still one of you wait...

The young man's despondence soon halted 

When gently a voice that he knew 

Took shape slowly out of the blue 

Flight Captain James at your service 

Last month I went down in the drink 

You're not as alone as you think 

Here's some of your chums from last Thursday 

Shot down in their prime over Rome 

The boys who can never go home 

Photos 

Were thrown a hundred yards 

Blown into smithereens 

Until we meet again my friends 

No regrets and Lily Marlene sings again
