About 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 sample is taken directly from 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. .

505 Lyrics

[00:11.04] I'm going back to 505
[00:14.84] If it's a seven-hour flight or a 45-minute drive
[00:21.08] In my imagination, you're waiting lying on your side
[00:27.04] With your hands between your thighs
[00:31.37]
[00:35.51] Stop and wait a sec'
[00:38.77] Oh, when you look at me like that, my darling, what did you expect?
[00:44.32] I'd probably still adore you with your hands around my neck
[00:50.62] Or I did last time I checked
[00:54.60]
[00:58.84] Not shy of a spark
[01:02.46] A knife twists at the thought that I should fall short of the mark
[01:08.67] Frightened by the bite, though it's no harsher than the bark
[01:14.49] The middle of adventure is such a perfect place to start
[01:22.78] I'm going back to 505
[01:26.02] If it's a seven-hour flight or a 45-minute drive
[01:32.32] In my imagination, you're waiting lying on your side
[01:38.08] With your hands between your thighs
[01:42.36]
[02:09.78] But I crumble completely when you cry
[02:13.70] It seems like once again you've had to greet me with goodbye
[02:19.60] I'm always just about to go and spoil a surprise
[02:25.36] Take my hands off of your eyes too soon
[02:29.99]
[02:33.23] I'm going back to 505
[02:36.96] If it's a seven-hour flight or a 45-minute drive
[02:43.72] In my imagination, you're waiting lying on your side
[02:49.25] With your hands between your thighs and a smile
[02:52.15]
