On one of the two songs on Everything You’ve Come to Expect where he has sole writing credit, Alex Turner gets uncharacteristically introspective about his hometown and girlfriend, reflecting on the past and worrying about the future.
Don’t worry about Turner growing too soppy or self-absorbed, how...
[Verse 1: Alex Turner]
Well, we were kissing, it was secret
We’d had to sneak beyond the kitchen
Both well aware that there’d be trouble
If the manager should find us
You’d got a leaning tower of pint pots in your hand

Through Sheffield City Centre
There was palm tree debris everywhere
And a Roman Colosseum
Isn't it boring when I talk about my dreams?
It must be torture when I talk about my dreams
