Hideous Towns
The Sundays

Don't ask me why, don't ask me why

I'll join the army, the Salvation Army but it didn't help

Don't ask me why, don't ask me why

I joined the army, but it drove me barmy and it didn't help

Hideous towns make me throw up

Don't ask me why, don't ask me why

I went into service with the Civil Service but it didn't help

Don't ask me why, don't ask me why

I went into service but it made me nervous and it didn't help

Ooh, hideous towns made me throw up

And sticks and stones may break my bones

But words will just finish me off, yeah near enough

Oh oh, my hopeless youth it's so uncouth

And oh, I'd like to be in history

I said oh in my hopeless youth just so uncouth

So there you go and now you know

But just please don't

Don't ask me why, don't ask me why

I went to the circus, Piccadilly Circus, it was very strange

Don't ask me why, 'cause I don't know why

Never one to roam, I took the first bus home, and I haven't changed

Ooh, hideous towns made me throw up

And I know sticks and stones may break my bones

But words will just finish me off, yeah near enough

Yes they do

Said oh, my hopeless youth it's so uncouth

Said oh, and I'd like to be in history

Said oh in my, hopeless youth it's just so uncouth

So there you go, and now you know

But just please don't.... please, please, please

Said oh, yeah my hopeless youth just so, damn, oh oh

Yeah my hopeless youth is really very young

Just really very young
