More Dreadnoughts playin on yer. Spanish Ladies - An excellent Westcountry sea shanty - you need to nose dissun. Contains verse four of the Quaker as we forgot it to play enough verses in that song. We might have messed up some of the words again, but when you consider the state we were in to have the thing finished was a miracle so lets enjoy!
Oh yeah - also has a hidden gem of a ole folk song at the end - recorded in Ian's shed toilet deep in the allotments - which actually was a half full bucket of pong.
lyrics
From Ushant to Scilly its 35 leagues.
Buttercup Joe is the hero of many a basic country song- I guess in Americal he became Cotton Eyed Joe.

Incredible band with dynamic writing, varied instrumentation and a distinctive sound while keeping a punk backbone. The great storytelling is a perfect bonus. I'm always ready for more. Andrew Palmer

An album that originally I didn't take a liking to; until I heard the lyrics. It slowly has grown on me to the point where I have ordered the vinyl. Lovely way to remember those 100 years ago. Martin Flaherty
