Cover art for Try Harder lyrics by Blood Red Shoes

actually it is more like this:

Oh, my! well look how passé things are becoming - how to move things on? (not really sure) we'll change our hair dye, change our footwear,

change ideas to fit what magazines say

trying so hard to be looked up to

oh my! well look how old we're becoming - what are we to do? well don't you worry, just pay attention, keep looking up because they'll always be there

trying so hard to be looked up to

for some reason you caught my eye, well maybe i'll wake up and feel okay.

cause all the dumb lines that we used last night, will never make us wake up and feel okay

trying so hard to be looked up to it's not working
