    >>>I thought in that line of Corduroy he said:"Everything has chains,absolutely nothing´s changed"


    Up until last week, I always thought it was "Everything has CHANGED,.."

    I can't believe it's actually CHAINS - it actually lessens the impact of this song for me. I always looked at it as everything in the world outside of me has changed, but nothing inside of me has changed, so absolutely nothing's changed. Bummer.
