Songs with British place names in the title, (or in the song)

Blimey this is harder - get your music caps on - much like America where there's loads of New York references, this is even harder excluding London...

Handsworth Revolution - Steel Pulse
Strange Town - the Jam (and Eton Rifles)
Waterloo Sunset - The Kinks
Baker Street - Gerry Rafferty
Glasgow Star - Eddie Reader
Up the Junction - Squeeze
White Man in Hammersmith Palais - The Clash

  1. This became a lot easier over time:

    Highway to Hull
    Diss You Nights
    Brighton Eyes
    Mr Blue Skye
    All I need is the Ayr that I breathe.
    Warminster! What is it good for?

    not to mention Kenny Rogers' unforgettable:
    "You gotta know when to fold 'em, know when to Oldham"

    and The Streets heart-rending cry from Dry Your Eyes Mate
    "You've got to walk away now, it's Dover"...

    Don't look back in Bangor- Oasis

    Can't Buy Me Hove...
    (I'm sorry,but I really do love that one).

    Take the Money and Runcorn

    and from The Who's Boris The Spider
    "creepy Crawley, creepy Crawley"

    U2 - Wigan Without You
