There's quite a few "worst towns" in the UK - Luton, Hull and Reading are always near the top. I shudder to think what the shit end of a shit town looks like.
Stylistically the song reminds me of Graham Parker, but slower, or the melodic moments of John Cooper Clarke, without John Cooper Clarke. It's interesting to hear a conventional, classically-structured pop song on the internet. The chord progression in the chorus reminds me of "To Earth with Love" by Gay Dad (e.g. "just to walk away" vs "hills I cannot climb").
My first suggestion is that you cut the first twenty-three seconds, because they are the same as the next twenty-three seconds. Move the bridge somewhere earlier than 3:00, because it deserves to be heard. Aim to fade out by 3:33. The ending is a bit weak. Then again, I would probably smother everything in strings.
