FD, glad to have taken you down Memory Lane. This song was actually written by Liam Reilly of another Irish band called Bagatelle.
I'm not a huge fan of some of the Wolfe Tones own songs, so aggressively anti-British as to be faintly ridiculous and almost a subconscious self-parody. Their audience laps them ups though, so they know what they're doing. Probably the most ridiculous of their songs is "Rock On Rockall," an insult laden diatribe against Britain and asserting Irish right to a deserted rock in the middle of the Atlantic but actually far closer to Scotland than it is to Ireland. Why they got so worked up about that I have no idea LOL.
