Just for the record: GIRLS IN OUR TOWN (Bob Hudson) Girls in our town they just haven't a care See them on Saturday floating on air Painting their toenails and washing their hair Maybe tonight it'll happen. Girls in our town leave school at fifteen Work at a counter or behind a machine Spend all their money on making the scene And plan on going to England. Girls in our town go to parties in pairs, Sit round the barbeque, give themselves airs. Go to the bathroom with a girlfriend who cares. Girls in our town are so lonely. Girls in our town are too good for the pill But if you keep asking they probably will, Perhaps they like you or just for the thrill, And explain it away in the morning. Girls in our town get no help from their men No-one will let them be sixteen again Things could get better but its hard to say when If they only had someone to talk to. Girls in our town can be saucy and bold At seventeen, no-one is nicer to hold, Then they start having kids and they start growing old, Girls in our town, girls in our town. As sung by Phil Lobl, although it was 'more famously' recorded, earlier, by Margret Roadknight. From memory (although Bob B. probably has accurate details) it was written early in the 70s. Cheers, Rowan
