lyrics

This is a song about Belgium.

Yes, I'm chained to a wall
Down in the dungeon
Not much to say
I'm chained to a wall

Well, I laughed at the king
When a dog soiled his shoes
The guards took me away
Now I'm down in the dungeon

Chained to a wall (3x)
There's not too much happening
Chained to a wall (3x)
I sure miss clean water

Don't know how long
They've had me stuck down here
It's hard to tell time
When you're chained to a wall

If there were somebody to scratch ... right ... there between my shoulder blades, that would be so nice.

'Cause I'm chained to a wall (3x)
Time sure does pass slowly
Chained to a wall (3x)
Don't laugh at royalty
I'm chained to a wall (3x)
I'd kill for a lozenge
Chained to a wall (3x)
And some clean clothing

There's iron round my wrists
And there's iron round my ankles
I'm not being metaphorical
I'm chained to a wall

My chances of freedom are represented by the numeral: zero.

Now I love the king
I'm sorry for laughing
Please let me loose
'Cause I'm chained to a wall

Yes, I'm chained to a wall (3x)
If I were home now
Chained to a wall (3x)
I'd be pickling the cabbage

Down in the dungeon (4x)
I'm chained to a wall (4x)

I'm chained to an old stone wall with rainwater trickling down it and moss and lichens
Chained to a wall
Down in the dungeon (2x)
Chained to a wall
Kept here by iron
Laughed at the king
Chained to a wall (2x)

And the fifteenth century don't seem like it's ever gonna end.
