I first knew this song as sung by the Poozies (a British, all-women, folk group) on their album Chantoozies (I can't post that version because I have it on tape).
I was surprised to find that it was originally written and performed by the British, all-male, New Wave band, XTC, on their album, Mummer (which is referred to as being an album from their "pastoral" period).
Hey, zap me your e-mailadress and I mail you Poozies version!
Cheers,
Per.
