This track is a dub reworking of the track 5/4 by the Space Monkeyz. Features an exuberant horn arrangement quite different to any melody found in the original track. In the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom, the P45 is the form that a person is handed when leaving a job. The P45 details income for social security purposes. (The two countries' respective P45s are actually different; it's just that the UK and Ireland have very similar administrative processes here.) Use of the term "P45" depends on context. e.g. to be given your P45 -- to get fired (possibly unceremoniously)to ask for your P45 -- to quit your job (possibly unceremoniously and/or defiantly)to be in possession of your P45 -- to be jobless (The P45 is handed to the employer when starting at the next job.). Maybe the Spacenokeyz are indulging in a bit of wry self-deprecating humour with this title.
