Type the lyrics to “505” by Arctic Monkeys

'505' builds slowly from a hush to a roar, and its moderate pace and vivid, image-heavy lines make it a satisfying intermediate typing session. Arctic Monkeys pack unusual phrasing into short lines, so you'll practise a wider vocabulary than most pop songs demand while still keeping up comfortably.

Based on its natural singing speed, this track sits in the “moderate” range, a comfortable, steady pace suited to intermediate typists. You can slow the video down or turn on Easy mode (which drops capitals and punctuation) to make it more approachable, or type at full speed to test yourself.

The full lyrics run to roughly 211 words, making it a medium-length session. Repetition in the chorus means you'll drill the same words several times, which is exactly how typing speed on common words improves.

Genre and mood tags for this track: rock, indie.
