Trouble - Cat Stevens song - was created in 1970.

An example of trouble is when you are caught doing something bad and you could get a punishment.

Cat Stevens wrote the song and presumably is receiving the royalties for it.

Actually it's a Harry Chapin song....Cat Stevens may have covered it.

Anyway, it's about the cycle of life.

The song Cat's in the Cradle was written by Harry Chapin and his wife Sandy Chapin. Harry Chapin is also the performer of the song. Cat Stevens never recorded the song, although whether or not he may have covered the song live or otherwise is unclear.
