[edit] Trivia/Info

Performed at the breakneck tempo of "classic new wave", this song is the harangue of an embattled old-timer who refuses to yield the floor. Chorus: "I'm not done, and I won't be till my head falls off." Check out the rock power of bassist Graham Maby in the breakdown section.
  • Appears in the Malcolm In The Middle Episode "Home Alone 4", when the boys are cleaning the house, then making it messy again.
  • When played live (as on Severe Tire Damage), the word "decrepit" is often used in place of "forgetful".
