British indie rock band Bloc Party have aired their new single “Flirting Again“.
The song is out now and is the band’s first new music since last year’s EP ‘The High Life’. Grab it here.
Speaking about it, Kele Okereke said ““Flirting Again” is about being thrust back into the scene and trying to remember how it all works. It’s about trying to appear desirable, whilst at the same time hiding the hurt that defines you. We are all carrying around the various scars that we have accumulated over the years, the heartbreaks that have come to shape how we give love and receive love. This song is about picking yourself up and carrying on.”

Bloc Party “Flirting Again” Lyrics:
Sent a text to my ex on Valentine’s Day
But nothing came back so I fuck the pain away
Fuck the pain away
Take a bite if you like
The first is free, the second you’ll pay
I’m a reasonable man
Tonight I’m taking names for the game
Can I be tamed?
I take a blue pill for the thrill
Sip it with alcohol
Any of them will do
Give me two at the same time
I go sowing my oats
Far and wide
[1]
And now I’m flirting again
Again, again, again, again
With this one, with that one
Call me Ace of Spades, Lemonade
As I maintain your gaze
I don’t know your name
Pink cocaine coursing through my vein
You could be my flame
All paths lead to the same place
I’m so tired of this scene
Make an honest man of me
So I dust off the moves that the dream boy taught me
Shave my chest, bench press
I keep it chill but naughty
So I dust off the moves that the go-go boy taught me
A whole lifetime ago
Repeat [1]
[2]
Flirt, could you be the one? (x2)
Flirt, keep me on my toes
Flirt, my tippy toes
I keep my cards close to my chest
Flirt, I keep my heartbreak all to myself
Tonight I’m taking names for the game
Can I be tamed?
I take a blue pill for the thrill
Sip it with alcohol
Any of them will do
Give me two at the same time
I go sprinkling my love over SW4
Repeat [2]
He’s flirting again
Oh
