Marillion - forgotten sons, 1983
"An old English nursery rhyme. It is popularly believed to have dated from the time of the Black Death in the 17th century. The rhyme is: Ring-a-ring-o-roses, A pocketful of posies, Atishoo! Atishoo! They all fall down! The rhyme supposedly developed out of the fact that sneezing was the first sign that death by plague was imminent; those who sneezed died! The rhyme is rarely perceived to be as nasty as it really is; it's about death!"
