Shut Up And Listen Lyrics - Hothouse Flowers

Shut up and listen to what you've been given 

Hold on listen, while the blood is waiting 

There's a clock on the mantle watches 

As time rolls by 

Saying there's mountains to climb and the sky 

If we're willing to aim high 

For the rest of your life 

The man who told me this story 

Is long dead 

But I hear his music alive in my head 

Spent his whole life giving 

As best he can 

Saying help me believe in the 

Things I believe in 

The clock on the mantel watches as time 

Rolls by 

Saying there's mountains to climb and 

The sky if we are willing to aim high 

We are just children at heart 

If not in our minds 

For the rest of our lives
