Talking Heads: Assemblies in Early Medieval Germany by Stuart Airlie. From the book Political Assemblies in the Earlier Middle Ages, edited by Barnwell and Mostert.

And you may find yourself living in a thatched-roof hut
And you may find yourself living in the Holy Roman Empire
And you may find yourself negotiating with your lords
And you may find yourself in a beautiful hall, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"
