The Baker's Son Lyrics
You tripped up again,
you tripped up again, oh no.
You know better, don't you?
Free to believe in, oh no.
Tick-tock again. Tick-tock again, oh no.
Waiting, Waiting.
Waiting, Waiting.
Tip-toe again. Tip-toe again, oh no.
Sounds like nothing you know.
Who's that again? Who's that again, oh no.
Sleep with one eye... oh no!
Wake up! Wake up!
Wake up! Wake up!
Settle my boy, settle my baby boy.
No need to fight, you'll be just fine, you'll be all right.
Settle my boy, settle my baby boy.
No need to fight, you'll be just fine, you'll be all right...
And nothing will bother you, son.
Now you're on your own.
And nothing will bother you, son.
Now you're gone.
(Now you're gone.)
Now you're on your own.
Settle my boy, settle my baby boy.
Settle my boy, settle my baby boy.
You should be home, with those that you love.
I know that you care, I know you can hear me.
Settle my boy, settle my baby boy.
No need to fight, you'll be just fine, you'll be all right. (x3)
you tripped up again, oh no.
You know better, don't you?
Free to believe in, oh no.
Tick-tock again. Tick-tock again, oh no.
Waiting, Waiting.
Sounds like nothing you know.
Who's that again? Who's that again, oh no.
Sleep with one eye... oh no!
Wake up! Wake up!
No need to fight, you'll be just fine, you'll be all right.
Settle my boy, settle my baby boy.
No need to fight, you'll be just fine, you'll be all right...
Now you're on your own.
And nothing will bother you, son.
Now you're gone.
(Now you're gone.)
Now you're on your own.
Settle my boy, settle my baby boy.
You should be home, with those that you love.
I know that you care, I know you can hear me.
No need to fight, you'll be just fine, you'll be all right. (x3)

Could this perhaps be Hunger Games related? Peeta...the baker's son? Just a thought.
I love this suggestion and I hope its right, It's a good connection. It'd be great to know the exact play-out of this connection, hopefully we'll learn soon

I want to agree with Namipo, I want to see it comforting words to peeta in his death but Peeta doesnt die in either of the first 2 installations. He comes close when he chops the forcefield with a maschette (sic) but is resuscitated(sic). Such a beautiful and progressive song of a boy's struggle and demise (the way I see it) would make sense. The line "And nothing will bother you, son. Now you're on your own." Has me thinking the boy met his demise and is passing into eternal peace.
I've googled for sources from Ian Kenny talking about the song and have found nothing but I'd really love to paint a story when i listen to this progressive beauty

I get the simple impression that the 'boy' is alone, scared and in a strange place where he fears for his life and just wishes death would come. When you think of the hunger games (haters go FY) you can picture Peeta; the scared young man in a fight for his life against other youngsters fighting for their lives, and just imagine being in his position.
In general, being a naive boy in a strange situation fearing for his life and hoping for death, because sometimes fear is so insense and unbearable that knowing you'll be in peace in death is a comfort.
This song was released before any Hunger Games, books included.
The lyrics of this song would seem to fit with the concept of the singer's song going to jail. 'Tripping up', supposedly knowing better, getting busted, having to wait around (for the justice system), having to tip-toe around unpleasant truths, being asked about associates (who's that). Subsequently being told by a parental figure to wake up, settle down, no need to fight (either figuratively or literally). You should be home, with those that you love. I know that you care, I know you can hear me. Then the parental figure is effectively urging to calm down, wait this out and re-join society some time in the (presumably) distant future.
