I was thinking about duncanr's post involving
"an unusual defence to the charge of downloading child pornography"Whilst I can see no mitigating circumstances for that guy, this song comes to mind.

interesting.. that bit of the song always bothered me. I hate to think of Ian Anderson as a pedophile!
I agree df, the first few lines are dark and creepy, but overall it adds to the pathos we feel (I feel) for the character in the song. A life lost, or taken away, or never had.
I never intended to impugne the character of IA.
You didn't .. it's clear that you're a fan, I recall the other song you posted.. I'm a fan as well.
It's just that thinking about the song after reading Duncan's post had me see the words from another perspective... so I thought about it differently. I find that listening to music with some age and distance means that i hear the lyrics from a new place sometimes...
