Based on Alex Turner's explanation of this piece, "Black Treacle" is not intended to make any sense. Rather, his goal was to create a song that people could relate to more in an external sense. Or let's say that this track is provided solely for your listening pleasure, not to relay any type of message or discernable narrative.

(Spoiler alert: everything)

If Matt, Nick or Chris say they're uncomfortable with this fic, we will take it down immediately!
