Background

Musically "Everything You've Come to Expect" has been described as a "psychedelic waltz" [2] and has been called "Beatle-esque". The song finds Turner as "a jealous guy", among a "phantasmagoria of surreal visions of decadence". [2] The song references several songs and musicians, with the line "Croc-skin collar on a diamond dog" recalling David Bowie's album of the same name. The mention of Honey Pie on the preceding verse, was thought to be a Beatles reference, although Turner admitted it was coincidental. [4] The band has said it was the last song written for the album, and "the further down the wing" they have gone in terms of songwriting, adding that its their favourite track in the record. [5] [6] Turner said the song was written on a Vox Continental keyboard. [7] [8]
