The Boy Who Cried Wolf is one of Aesop's Fables, numbered 210 in the Perry Index. From it is derived the English idiom "to cry wolf", defined as "to give a false alarm" in Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable and glossed by the Oxford English Dictionary as meaning to make false claims, with the result that subsequent true claims are disbelieved. The tale concerns a shepherd boy who repeatedly tricks nearby villagers into thinking wolves are attacking his flock

That it seems I need you more each day Heaven knows why that it goes that way Now it's far too late and I've lost this time Like the boy who cried wolf Like the boy who cried wolf. An' yes I know it's far too late To ever win you back No tales of nightmare's at my gate Could make you turn my lost concern. And now the night falls down, upon my selfish soul I sit alone and wonder where did I go wrong It always worked before you kept the wolf from my door But one day you never showed and honey now I'm not so sure

This song is by The Style Council and appears on the album Our Favourite Shop (1985). As the rain comes down, upon this sad sweet earthI lie awake at nights and - think about meAll those usual things like what a fool I've beenI curse the awful way - that I let you slip awayFor what was forged in love, is now cooling downWith only myself to blame for playing that stupid gameI thought I need only call and you would runBut that day you never showed honey - well I sure learnt -.
