Anyone feel like posting the lyrics? It might spark of some memories by putting the images in context. (And anyway it sounds an intriguing song.)

Little Boy Blue I've always thought a nursery rhyme with a strange melancholy quality.

He's under the haycock, fast asleep.

It's about things going wrong that can't be repaired. And so is the Man in the Moon, which Snuffy already quoted. And even the cat in the cradle might not be such a gentle image, if you think about it. As in Rock-a-bye Baby, the child might be in some considerable danger...
