I agree- this song has got to be about the anxiety inherent in fatherhood - you know - worrying about their safety 24hrs a day. Wanting them to explore the world but stay out of trouble. wanting them to find their own way in the world and become interesting individuals in their own right but yet still have a bit of the old man in them; kids are wonderfully incipient little beings totally oblivious to the staggering range of fates (good and bad) that potentially await them. ITS FRIGHTENING!
Brilliant song!!
..sorry i was talking a good bit of bollocks there.
