Hideous Towns |
Don’t ask me why, don’t ask me why |
I joined 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, cos 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 |
