Arctic Monkeys 505

“505” is one of the songs that marks a turning point in Alex Turner’s songwriting, as he discovers new emotional depths.

The organ chords are the same as were used in Ennio Morricone’s soundtrack for the iconic Western, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, where Angel Eyes enters before the final standoff.

The title could be an allusion to “Flight 505” by The Rolling Stones, with both songs sharing the theme of going somewhere to recapture a feeling or moment… or a person.

Lyrics

[Chorus]
I’m going back to 505
If it’s a seven-hour flight or a forty-five-minute drive
In my imagination, you’re waiting lying on your side
With your hands between your thighs

[Verse 1]
Stop and wait a sec
When you look at me like that, my darling, what did you expect?
I’d probably still adore you with your hands around my neck
Or I did last time I checked

[Verse 2]
Not shy of a spark
The knife twists at the thought that I should fall short of the mark
Frightened by the bite, though it’s no harsher than the bark
The middle of adventure, such a perfect place to start

[Chorus]
I’m going back to 505
If it’s a seven-hour flight or a forty-five-minute drive
In my imagination, you’re waiting lying on your side
With your hands between your thighs

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
But I crumble completely when you cry
It seems like once again you’ve had to greet me with “Goodbye”
I’m always just about to go and spoil the surprise
Take my hands off of your eyes too soon

[Chorus]
I’m going back to 505
If it’s a seven-hour flight or a forty-five minute drive
In my imagination, you’re waiting lying on your side
With your hands between your thighs and a smile
