Lyrics
hey! hey! hey!
the girls are fighting
hey! hey! hey!
the girls are fighting
hey! hey! hey!
the girls are fighting
hey! hey! hey!
i do my grieving early
its a riot at infernos, the filth are on their way
lusty casanova, been making eyes again
the bouncers made a movie, upload it to world star,
scrag fight!
she wants to send a message but she's taken it too far
there's blood on the dancefloor extensions on the bar
i blame the Jägermeister and the vodka lemonade
and now these boys can't cope
hey! hey! hey!
the girls are fighting
and the boys can't cope
hey! hey! hey!
the girls are fighting
and the boys can't cope
hey! hey! hey!
the girls are fighting
and the boys can't cope
hey! hey! hey!
i do my grieving early
how many times will he use the same lines?
how many maidens will fall for his charms?
how many? how many?
he crossed a line he should never have crossed
he promised her things
hey! hey!
the girls are fighting
and the boys can't cope
how many times will he use the same lines?
hey! hey!
the girls are fighting
and the boys can't cope
how many times will he use the same lines?
hey! hey!
the girls are fighting
and the boys can't cope
how many times will he use the same lines?
hey! hey!
(ooh!) the girls are fighting
the girls, the girls, the girls, the girls
the boys, the boys, the boys can't cope x4
Bloc Party is and will always be the greatest band ever!
Been a fan since I was a teenager.
Dang I am a teenager
@@R0manSk8er that's alright. You should check out their songs "england," "always new depths," "storm and stress," and "vision of heaven" if you haven't heard those. As it's been said before, welcome to the world of being a Bloc Party fan, where a lot of their best songs don't appear on their main LPs.
@@blocpartyfan9771 when they do have a build up to a finish, they almost always execute perfectly.
@@R0manSk8er I also recommend "Ion Square"
@@blocpartyfan9771 I get what you mean :)
that solo is the most 'Russell doing Russell things' shit I've heard in years and I love it. great sense of swagger to this & Louise absolutely KILLS it. can't wait for the rest!
the "hey" remind me of "she's hearing voices"
Bloc party releasing new music could be the best thing about 2022.
Agreed!!!
👍🥳
Yeah but sadly this song isn't very good :/
@@agustinortega5688 agreed it's dire
4 real
Bloc Party is one of my favorite bands but I can’t help feeling like they’ve lost something. Their songs used to feel deep and authentic and I can’t help feeling like it’s lost. I miss the pressure cooker songs that built up and exploded into something unique and beautiful. Maybe it’s just me. It’s all love and I’m still excited to listen to the rest of the album.
I mean they lost half of the old band. Louise and Justin do a good job but are just different. Plus they are all much older and have much less of that youthful angst kinda energy. If you want some of that old bloc party sound I'd recommend Algiers - Black Eunuch. Matt Tong plays drums for em and I just accepted them over hoping that Bloc Party would do anything close to their first 4 records again. I don't hate this new sound though
I understand what you mean. Traps got me extremely excited, kind of like the Silent Alarm days. This, well.. I'm not sure yet. This is my first listen so I'm hoping this one grows on me.. however when I heard Traps fucking wow! But as the other person said they only have half of thier original line up and they are big shoes to fill.. Especially Matt. His manic and frantic drumming really had a big part in shaping their sound. This is only the second song released from the upcoming album (I think, right?) so hopefully they lean more towards the frantic Traps style. The first time I heard that course it was almost like a time machine the mid 2000s.
I'm convinced it's because Kele wants full control and it just isn't working.
I feel you. And the weird thing is.....its not that hard. Do a cool 4 chord progression, let the lead guitar compliment it higher up, make it sound square and sharp/blocky. Build it up with weird drum and bass stop&go moments, Do some haunting synths and vocoder harmonies, Let it all explode into a great hook and chorus with some tension and melancholy.....let it explode into a weird solo by their guitarist.... I don't understand they could use lots of tricks they did on SIlent Alarm and put a 2022 twist on it, But they just don't. I cant find a great hook in these new songs.....Its quite boring.
I think the truth of it is we are all getting older, and I say this as a 25 yr old. I actually really love this track, and think it captures a lot of classic BP energy while being bassy enough to work on headphones. I also loved a lot of their last album. But it will never be the 2000s again, and those songs wont hit the same even if released now. We will never get another Weekend in the City, let alone Helicopter, and thats fine. Bloc Party will release the odd single, go on tour, be like other bands, and thats fine. It has to be.
This song COULD become a sporting-events ANTHEM, especially at women's boxing and UFC events. The album has some naysayers but its actually the best Rock Album of 2022, as far as ive heard. Its Lively and Vital and it takes risks, i highly recommend it !!!
The purists are fighting, and the fans can't cope.
Underrated comment 💀
Those hypnotic loops and tribal rhythm sound wonderful ! Well done guys ! The new formation is writing a beautiful page in the history of bloc party.
The girls may be fighting but this boy is listening!!!!!
I love this, feels like a mix of all your discography yet very fresh, i will always love you Bloc Party, can't wait for the full album.
Sounds like a re-work of Cyril's Blood from Kele's Solo Album :)
So true
Such a great song, and the first single from the new album, 'Traps' is also a excellent song too. Bloc Party are definitely back, and I have been a fan of Bloc Party since 2004's 'Helicopter' song.
Sounds like the bass is fighting the drums. Bass is like "NO GO WITH THIS TIME SIGNATURE!" and the drums are like "Nah fam"
Adds a different type of urgency to it and i seriously dig it
Bloc Party is fucking Alive
Bloc Party you're our only hope
What a killer video! Really love what I’m hearing for the new album! So hyped about it! Can’t wait to get my vinyl copy and see them live! More of great music Bloc Party!!!
depeche mode vibes
Loving the new tunes Bloc Party. Looking forward to hearing the entire album.
It’s out. And it’s not quite what I expected. I hope it grows on me.
Edit: it grows on me. It’s got this cool catchy rhythm to it. Although I feel like the everything could go just a tad bit harder and faster.
same here, i was hoping it'd be a little punchier, especially with the bass, but im kinda getting into its groove now
Seriously until April??? Guys!!! You are amazing!!! Love all your music!!!! Thank you!!!!! 🎶 Fan of you since 2009!!!
🎶 Can't wait to hear the whole album & to see you live here in Birmingham 🎵
🥰🥰🥰Thank you for new music, love Bloc Party, forever ❤ ♥ 💕
Louise killed it in this one!!! I'm very excited for this album
Finaly we can see the New fomation in a good dinamic and good album too
Congratulations Kele and Russel
Show to This New generation How was the Indie, emo, brithspop decade work.
Wight pwopper lads
Great song and very fun video. Cool to see the band playing 'characters'. Can't remember them doing much of that before.
Its so good that you guys are coming back ❤
Bloc Party coming back saved me in pandemic tbh,
Loving it! Great video too!
That intro reminds me of Hayley Williams' Simmer
Good song for the girls to be fighting to.
This is my fave new Bloc Party song no doubt!! 🔥⛳
Bloc party makes me feel alive.
In re last comment... I had considered if Bloc Party had lost something also. Nonetheless, when I hear this come on 6 Music, and momentarily might wonder 'what that song is' when you fleetingly forget it is Bloc Party... it still grabs me, that's what I'm getting!
Boxing videos however... not sure how I feel about that, mixed?
Hell yeah!!!! They're back!!!!
yes!!!! the legends!!!!
After,, traps'' and this song, i just can' t wait to hear the rest of songs from the new album 👏
Ahhhhhh i only can waaaait
LOVE the Hat....love the Groove....I feel like it needs a slinky Guitar solo at the 2/3rds mark......and im getting excited about this damn album!
Another great song
Love this video guys!
Estos chicos no dejan de sorprenderme sin duda la mejor banda del 🌎 no puedo esperar 😋❤💜
Esperamos el álbum! 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Happy they're still doing there thing.....but silent alarm and especially a weekend in the city were trancednant.
2:36 Solo. And that there is how a Data Corrupter pedal is used.
A great comeback!
wow that video was awesome!!
Back at lasttt!!!!! So happy 🤩
Anybody else screenshot Russell flipping off Justin screaming "fuck you"?...:) fucking love this song
a great tune 💥
Jeez I love this band alreadyyy
Ожидаем!!
THIS TRACK IS ON MY REPITE! 🌎🔥
Miss you guys and loving new vibez
Thank you! Good song, good video!
Yeeeeeeee
Viejos veranos regresando a mi UwU
Heck yes
Rhythm section is going off!
Awesome 👌🏼🙌
This and “Traps” make up for their last album.
Missing the silent alarm days
about time to stay alive.. comeback is real,BP.. sheeshh
The girls are fightiiiiiingggg
Iconic
It's growing on me I like it
KOOL!!!
I guess I'm just old fashioned.
This is a long way from skeleton or banquet. I'm still stuck in 07.
They're back
I’m hoping for ‘two more years’ kinda song or ‘I still remember’
If we get caught
Merci !!
Quem ama bloc party deixa o like.
👑👑🔥🔥
Love that it's instrumental focused
Thank u 🎈🎈🎈
AYOOOOO
Like Gary Glitter😜
Sounds 100% like Gary Glitter
Sounds like a song in a generic car commercial
New Chevrolet
First 40 seconds like imagine dragons or some another car commercial band, then it turns into an alternative version to Gary glitters rock n roll.
I like Bloc Party but haha this is so true. 😅
Just discovered them via Steve lamacq radio 6 .. so I’m full of bubbles
I skipped online classes to listen to my favorite band. Thanks for making me happy on Friday.
Greetings from Mexico!
Did I die and wake up in 2005
im digging the baron samadi look.
Intresting drum part
I'm wondering if this song took inspiration from Kele's Cyril's Blood on 2042. Both songs are fantastic so I'm not complaining!!
caraca mano que clipe dahora 👏👏👏👏a música também ta d++++ 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
f0ra bolson4ro
@@umcertocapitaorodrigo Fora Bolsonaro
fora bolsonaro e god bless bloc party
This is absolutely horrendous.
You need your ears tested mate. It's their best work since Silent Alarm. They're BACK.
@@hangthetraitorrr you clearly betrayed your ears when you listened to this track and thought it was good. A traitor to your own twisted Bloc Party nostalgia.
Traps was good but this is amazing!!!
Sounds like a gary glitter song lol
Same thing I've said since 2009... More louise
ESTA VIVO
BLOC PARTY ESTA VIVO
I miss the old Bloc Party :[
If you’re looking for new Bloc Party sounding kinda like old Bloc Party I’d check out Traps if you haven’t
@@francescopastore7316 the instrumentals of that song are top tier bloc party, the lyrics however...
Wait that referee is O'Malley from SKINS ?
And the boys are making sandwiches now
This sounds like Adam & the ants
Please come 2 Argentina
Nice
Hey, ey, ey
Hey, ey, ey
Hey, hey, hey
The girls are fighting
Hey, hey, hey
The girls are fighting
Hey, hey, hey
The girls are fighting
Hey, hey, hey
I do my grieving early
It's a riot at Infernos
The filth are on their way
Lusty Casanova been making eyes again
The bouncers made a movie, upload it to Worldstar
Scrag fight!
She wants to send a message but she's taking it too far
Therе's blood on the dancefloor
Extensions on thе bar
I blame the Jägermeister and the vodka lemonade
And now these boys can't cope
Hey, hey, hey
The girls are fighting
And the boys can't cope
Hey, hey, hey
The girls are fighting
And the boys can't cope
Hey, hey, hey
The girls are fighting
And the boys can't cope
Hey, hey, hey
I do my grieving early
How many times will he use the same lines?
How many maidens will fall for his charms?
How many? How many?
He crossed a line he should never have crossed
He promised her things
Hey, hey
The girls are fighting
And the boys can't cope
How many times will he use the same lines?
Hey, hey
The girls are fighting
And the boys can't cope
How many times will he use the same lines?
Hey, hey
The girls are fighting
And the boys can't cope
How many times will you use the same lines?
Ooh! The girls are fighting
The girls, the girls, the girls, the girls
The boys, the boys, the boys can't cope
The boys, the boys, the boys can't cope
The boys, the boys, the boys can't cope
The boys, the boys, the boys

Phwoar those Phil Collins-esque tom fills (but are they overdubbed?)
In Canada, the term 'phwoar' is never used, but a british laddie mag educated me in the 1990's.
@@jjhofstra5956 it’s a terrible word really isn’t it haha, but I shall make sure I use it in Canada next time I’m visiting 😀
@@DrJohnRLawson Im fond of it.....the phrase "Phwoar, Georgina Law!!!" will live with me till my last day! I only say it to myself, because nobody would have a clue what the hell im saying...
@@jjhofstra5956 If only people said phwoar Lawson 😂
@@DrJohnRLawson I decided to look up Phwoar in the urban dictionary, and it said, "a phrase that old perverts use to express lust for someone younger and unattainable"
