Yes, it's all about cruelty. Absolutely.
He has a way of using the smallest things (like nursery rhymes) and building them into really luscious landscapes.
Here is the infamous 'Put a Straw under Baby'
Put a straw under baby,
Your good deed for the day
Put a straw under baby,
Keep the splinters away.Let the corridors echo,
As the dark places grow
Hear Superior's footsteps
On the landing below.There's a place in the orchard
Where no-one dare go
The last one who went there
Turned into a crow.Turned into a crow, crow,
Turned into a crow
The last one who went there
Turned into a crow.There's a brain in the table,
There's a heart in the chair
And they all live in Jesus,
It's a family affair.
