One Foot In The Grave is a song originally written by Dirk McQuickly in 1969, during the Shabby Road sessions. It was considered for inclusion on the album but was ultimately left off. Dirk revisited the song in the 1990s, when he recorded it for the first time, as the theme tune to the sitcom starring Richard Wilson of the same name. The success of the show led to the song becoming one of Dirk's best known solo songs.
