Linoleum

Linoleum is a kind of floor covering typically used in kitchens and bathrooms because it's pretty much indestructible. It is not, however, comfortable to sleep on. The song is about Mark Curry, a musician who was good friends with NOFX. "He would always be the last man standing, and he would always just sleep on the kitchen floor," NOFX frontman Fat Mike told Songfacts. "He didn't even look for a couch or carpet. And NOFX, in the '80s, we always slept on floors. Always." "I never chose linoleum," Mike continued. "I never chose a kitchen floor - but Mark would always choose a kitchen floor. So, it's about him."

"Linoleum" is the most popular NOFX song and the one they played at their concerts most often. It's fast and loud and embodies their values in the first line: Possessions never meant anything to me

The song defies convention by not having a chorus and only having two rhymes in the lyrics, yet it's the biggest NOFX song. "It should tell songwriters something," Fat Mike said in his Songfacts interview. "The more you rhyme, the quicker people get sick of your f--king song."
