opines its "arrangement and rhythmic feel" hint at British music hall, starkly contrasting with the lyrics. Costello similarly regarded "The Deportees Club" as "the wrong music for the right words". Perone compares its music to 1978's "You Belong to Me", further likening it to a mainstream rock song out of the 1965 British music scene. Like 1981's "Clubland", the setting is in a nightclub, presenting a view of a fantasy world and life inside the club. The final track, "Peace in Our Time", is a waltz ballad that presents political commentary, in part a reaction against Thatcherism and Reaganomics. On release, Holden found references to "German disco, nuclear testing, the Falklands War, space exploration and Ronald Reagan".

Paterson's trombone solo was based on an unreleased Costello tune titled "World Without End". Packaging The album's title was taken from an obscure 1960s single written by James Darlin.

Perhaps all four are dead, and on their way to the afterworld." Gouldstone calls the sleeve "playfully enigmatic", encouraging listeners to explore the music inside.

On the inner sleeve, Costello's self-portrait fragments into jigsaw pieces, half of which have flown away. Release and promotion Shortly following the recording sessions, Costello booked a solo tour for the US and Europe in April 1984; it was the first time he performed solo since the sessions for My Aim Is True (1977).
