@WIllem:
It's all childhood imagery...
Cat's in the Cradle = Cradle is the bed the baby sleeps in ... the cat is taking a nap their too (Our cat always slept with Ale when she was a baby).
Silver spoon = I f you are born with a silver spoon in your mouth, you are wealthy, privileged up-bringing or even spoilt. there is also a poem where "the dish ran away with the spoon"
Little boy Blue = children's poem :
Man in the Moon = the Moon has what looks like a man's face
