Hideous Towns Lyrics - Singles - The Sundays

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

Watch Janelle Monáe's Sci-Fi film 'Dirty Computer' 

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
