Philippa	Lyr Add: Daniel O'Connell and His Steam Engine (74* d)	RE: Daniel O'Connell & His Steam Engine	25 Oct 99
I don't know Paddy, but I also heard that the song was based on O'Connell saying that the steam engine would be the making of future generations. The references to needing recruits for Her Majesty's army reminds me of Swift's satirical 'Modest Proposal' to breed Irish babies to feed the English.
