Well, I didn't know this version (it's quite new) and it surprised me that someone like June Tabor who was compared somehow to Sandy Denny by their work in Celtic and Folk music would sing this kind of song :) I love this Elvis Costello song by Robert Wyatt's voice. Wyatt is a mark of the 80's musical vanguard scene. Here's the original by Costello: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuPrrdRzlxc :)
"Can you tell me where my country lies?" said the unifaun to his true love's eyes. "It lies with me!" cried the Queen of Maybe - for her merchandise, he traded in his prize ..." Dancing With the Moonlit Knight, 1973 Peter Gabriel- Genesis

This song is a monument and everybody should know about it.
Thank you Liz to bring us June Tabor :)
