about

Don says:

I drive about 40 miles per hour max because, apparently, that is the speed of daydreams. It used to upset me when other drivers honked at me. It doesn’t so much anymore, though, now that I realize I am the only one on the highway that is, in any meaningful sense, alive.

lyrics

Honk just to say hello
Honk for the joy of noise
Isn’t it nice when good people honk for you?

Honk if you need my help
Honk if you fear a crash
But try not to use your horn as a weapon, please!

I don’t know why I mind at all
But it matters
It matters

Maybe I drive too slow
Maybe you drive too fast
Baby we’re so much more than the way we drive

I don’t know why I mind at all
But it matters
It matters

We’re two strangers in the night (think, think about it)
One and only rendezvous (think, think about it)
You may find it odd,
But I’m a child of God
Aren’t you?
So why did you ruin my life?
Why did you ruin my life

Honk to express desire
Honk to endorse my cause
Honk unto others as you would honk at yourself

I don’t know why I mind at all
But it matters
It matters

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
