Caution: You are now annotating this song as
I'm going back to 505
If it's a 7 hour flight or a 45 minute drive
In my imagination you're waiting lying on your side
With your hands between your thighs


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 hand around my neck
Or I did last time I checked


Not shy of a spark
A 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
Middle of adventure, such a perfect place to start

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 a surprise
Take my hands off of your eyes too soon

About 505

505 is one of the songs in a turning point for Alex Turner’s progression as a songwriter in discovering new emotional depths.

The band’s love of classic films also influences their new style. For example, the organ at the beginning of the album’s final track, “505” is taken directly from Ennio Morricone’s soundtrack for The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (where Angel Eyes enters before the final standoff).
