How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“Must Try Harder” is a song about Frank Turner’s place within his upper-class English family, a punk among aristocrats. He feels as though he’s let down his parents, who had high hopes of his attending Oxford and becoming a banker. While Frank acknowledges, in “Once We Were Anarchists,” that that’s always something he’s envied for its ease, he hasn’t really looked back from his life of the road, tattoos, and punk rock.
