The carucate (Medieval Latin: carrūcāta, from carrūca, "wheeled plough") or ploughland (Old English: plōgesland, "plough's land") was a unit of assessment for tax used in most Danelaw counties of England, and is found for example in Domesday Book. The carucate was based on the area a plough team of eight oxen could till in a single annual season. It was sub-divided into oxgangs, or "bovates", based on the area a single ox might till in the same period, which thus represented one eighth of a carucate; and it was analogous to the hide, a unit of tax assessment used outside the Danelaw counties.[1]
The tax levied on each carucate came to be known as "carucage".
It goes over my head
It goes over my head
I don't understand I word I said
Just went over my head
I can stick around me
I don't want this to be
Walk right over and get it for free
I can stick around me
What a way for me to be myself
I'm a victory for my condition
I can pirouette to something else
I can get away or reposition
I'm astounded I can do it alone
You're around and I'm not ready to go
Too completely of my face and alone
It's all I lie around
I've got somewhere to go
I don't need you to know
Stop believing I'm going to slow
I've got somewhere to go
What a way for me to be myself
I'm a victory for my condition
I can pirouette to something else
I can get away or reposition
I'm astounded I can do it alone
You're around and I'm not ready to go
To completely of my face and alone
Its all I lie around
