It all depends on how you like your Bat albums, ROCK or THEATRICAL. I like both rock and musical theatre, but I lean more toward musical theatre, so of course I'm going to love those two songs. And I think they're great. This isn't a popular opinion, but "Not allowed to love" is probably my favourite Jim song. And I've always liked "Who needs the young?" because it's so hysterical and I think Meat and Patti would have had a blast with it. Imagine that being played on the radio, hahaha. This old timer, surrounded by all this modern music, singing "My sex just isn't what it was Is there anyone left who can fuck? Screw him!" Ha!
