about

Don says:

My love is like a hand grenade that never clears the barricade.

lyrics

I’ve waited by the telephone so many times
I’ve had to say “that’s okay” so many times
They sympathize, they condescend
They say they love me as a friend

I’ve lived and breathed in the old and the new
And if I had the secret I would share it with you
I’ve got my chest hair, I’ve grown a beard
But I’m the same old chump they’ve been having for years

Girls are weird
Girls are weird
Girls are weird
They’re weird

When the Son of Man went out to Galilee
He got no love from the Pharisees
He didn’t even bother with my petty concerns
Now he is who he is, so why won’t I learn?

To give up, to abandon hope
Tune out, turn in, jump the boat
Somewhere out there’s a cross for me
I’d feel a lot better nailed to a tree

They’re not for me
Girls are not for me

When I was a boy
I didn’t know nothing
It was great.

I’ve waited by the telephone so many times
Screamin at the telephone so many times
My love is like a hand grenade
That never clears the barricade

I’ve lived and breathed in the old and the new
But no one calls me the King of the Jews
My chest hair is raging up to my beard
But my face is all blotted and my name’s disappeared.

Girls are weird

The Shut-Ups Atlanta, Georgia

We're a five-piece new-wave power-pop band from Atlanta and Athens, GA and practice daily at 6AM. We do more before 8AM than most bands do all week.

We're not about Pleasure or Fun. You may enjoy listening to us. You may not. You may pretend to enjoy us because others you respect seem to. They may be pretending, too. In which case you may want to consider what else they're pretending about. ... more
