Right this is a real hard one and might be a bit hard to get even if you use Google, there is a big clue to this group as the name of the album it comes from is in the lyrics here.
I saw them at Wallingford bunkfest an open air festival, a weekend of fringe and folk music held on the local town green with other performances around the town in bars and restaurants, a really good way to say goodbye to the summer and there’s a really great real ale/beer tent as well!.
I love this album as they are really scatty but boy can they play a fiddle, and it brings back some really good memories of a weekend spent with good friends good food and way way way to much beer!.

Good luck!

I left my soul in Dover in the froth and the brine
Where we lost the good ship Venus with all hands except for mine
The ships dog was rover, he howled all the while
From Tenerife to Dover is 1500 miles.

Right this is another song from the album it’s called 7 deadly sins. I still think it's a group to far but if your into the Levellers and groups like that you should get it.

You’re sitting heavy drinking your sitting on your home
And all the while your thinking of the lass you left at home
You’d like to be her captain
You’d like to be the man
Instead you sink another drink
And scupper all your plans

You’d like to be a whale
A port for every wife
A soldier or a sailor
Yeah that’s a better life
You’d like to find a fortune
Or a shilling in your beer
To learn the kind of trickery
That makes you disappear!
