Known for their live shows, the group has gained a worldwide following. With 'Living in a Magazine’ Zoot Woman established themselves on the music scene. Credited by many within the industry as one of the most important forerunners of electroclash.
Well-received by critics; NME rated the album 'Things Are What They Used To Be' 8/10 with Camilla Pia writing, “The electro-clash survivors are at their most impressive yet: combining rip-your-heart-out lyrics with instantly singable melodies and frosty synths, all tinged with the occasional flurry of string and disco riffs. This is a masterclass in modern electronic music, finessed by innovation and emotional depth.”
The Guardian’s Dave Simpson writing, “More Than Ever wraps undying love up in big keyboard stabs, Witness is an effective moody stomp, and Lonely By Your Side – a personal/existential crisis in a three-minute pop song – can hold its head up among their heroes.”
Videos including "We Won't Break", and "Memory" have achieved great success for Zoot Woman on YouTube. This album helped expose the band to a worldwide market. It features the singles "Just A Friend Of Mine", "More Than Ever", "Memory", "We Won't Break" & "Live In My Head".
It was announced on their official website that Zoot Woman were in the studio and had begun recording new material for a follow-up album.[2]
On January 1, 2013, the Zoot Woman Facebook and Twitter accounts stated that the band look forward to introducing and touring the new album Star Climbing. On December 11th 2013, Zoot Woman's new single, The Stars Are Bright was made available on iTunes, nearly one year after the initial album announcement.
Other singles from the album Star Climbing include the song Don't Tear Yourself Apart. Stuart Price said in a statement, "We recorded Star Climbing over a three year period between our studios, working on songs and lyrics until we felt like we had found the albums direction. It is our most distinctive album to date, combining all our different tastes and styles into one."

Live In My Head
Zoot Woman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't mess around and end up down again
'Cause you gave me the perfect surprise
And it's hard to let go of the look in your eyes
I can't fake or hide I can't believe the lies
The past I can't face when your on my case again
And I wanted to show so much more,
All the things that you said still live in my head
All the places that we went we're gonna go again
Now all that remains is the love in my vein, you still live in my head
Control is not my direction or design
Here with my confession and I'm not messing
I've been waiting for you all the time
Don't you know what I'm feeling inside?
All the things that you said still live in my head
All the places that we went we're gonna go again
Now all that remains is the love in my vein, you still live in my head
Now all that remains is the love in my vein, you still live in my head
'Cause you gave me the perfect surprise
And it's hard to let go of the look in your eyes
All the things that you said still live in my head
All the places that we went we're gonna go again
Now all that remains is the love in my vein, you still live in my head
The lyrics to Zoot Woman's song Live In My Head express the lingering feelings and memories of a past love. The singer is unable to say their ex's name or play their game, as they do not want to end up hurt again. Despite this, the surprise and love they were once given is still fresh in their mind, making it difficult to let go. They cannot hide or fake their emotions and cannot face the past when their ex is constantly in their thoughts. The singer wanted to show more but is aware that opening that door could lead to a fall. All of the things their ex said and the places they went together still live in the singer's head, and they long to experience it all again. Despite being unable to control their direction, the singer confesses their feelings and waits for their ex to come back.
The song speaks to the universal experience of holding onto past lovers and the memories that come with them. The lyrics capture the complicated emotions of wanting to move on but being unable to forget the feelings of love and intimacy that were once present. The repetition of "you still live in my head" emphasizes the power that memory holds over our emotions, even when we try to move on.

I can't say your name, I can't play the game
I'm unable to mention your name or engage in this relationship anymore
I can't mess around and end up down again
I can't have a casual fling and then feel down later
'Cause you gave me the perfect surprise
You gave me a wonderful unexpected gift
And it's hard to let go of the look in your eyes
It's difficult to forget the way you used to look at me
I can't fake or hide I can't believe the lies
I refuse to pretend or deceive, I can no longer believe the falsehoods
The past I can't face when your on my case again
I can't handle the memories when you're back in my life
And I wanted to show so much more,
I desired to display my love and feelings to you
But I know it will fall if we open the door
But I'm aware it's doomed to fail if we rekindle our relationship
All the things that you said still live in my head
All your words are still lingering in my mind
All the places that we went we're gonna go again
All the places we visited will be revisited again
Now all that remains is the love in my vein, you still live in my head
All I have left is my overwhelming love for you and memories of you
Control is not my direction or design
I'm not one to control or dominate in this situation
Here with my confession and I'm not messing
I'm here to admit and confess, I'm not joking around
I've been waiting for you all the time
I've been waiting for you all along
Don't you know what I'm feeling inside?
Don't you understand my emotions and sentiments?
