My Life Story
had an album called Mornington Crescent.
Does Baker Street count?
ABBA - WATERLOO!
yep, it counts
no albums titles allowed though.
thisGIRL - St James Gate Marylebone
Erm, Baker Street...
well annoying.
balham to brooklyn
turin brakes
lollerama
Victoria (The Kinks)
Camden Town (Suggs)
[the only living boy in] New Cross (Carter USM)
:-P
ok maybe not.
'Going Underground'
covers all of them!
How about: "Morden a Feeling"?
So does
Down in the Tube Station at midnight!
that fucking awful song
by that incontinent bint from the black eyed peas, Fergie's London Bridge (which then had a picture of Tower Bridge on the cover - d'oh!)
.
Ed Ball - Mill Hill Self Hate Club
Wonder Stuff - Golden Green (not quite but close enough)
bloody hell
from what i gather from that song, fergie does not give blowjobs.
mile end - blur
Mile end
by Pulp, no?
that Morden song is devilish clever
everytime i get the southbound northern line (ie almost every day) that song end up in my head
im going to right a song called High Barnett. i might make it be about marge simpson
I see
what you did there.
the reason I started this thread
was the EXACT reason alcxxk just pointed out.
As I ventured back to Euston last night I gazed at the tube map, Morden sat their winking at me at the end of the black line and that song popped song into my head.
I realised that it did so every time I looked at the northern line map and no doubt it will continue to do so.
Clever? Or down right fucking irritating? I'm not sure yet.
this has
happened to me with 'baker street', on the occasions ive passed through that swooning saxophone solo has been stuck in my head for quite a while...
*through, that
i didnt
need to correct myself there did i, hmmm.
Blackhorse Road
Hefner
not technically station names
but
Down in the tube station at midnight - the jam
Northern line - jamie t
Angel - Simply Red
Also, Fascination Street is a disused station on the Piccadilly Line.
Whippin' Piccadilly - Gomez
I know it's not London - poetic license innit.
Piccadilly Circus innit
also the Piccadilly line
On a similar theme
Whenever I 'alight' at Holloway Road I have that song by Hefner that mentions Holloway Road (Painting and Kissing I think) going through my head.
It is
Painting and Kissing. It's where the girl lives.
I thought there would more Hefner songs named after parts of London but I could only find 1.
elliot smith mentions
'White city on the yellow line', in Baby Britain, but we all know white city is on the red line, artistic license I guess..
Maybe the song
was about someone weeing on some drugs, or a snow palace in a magical kingdom, or a polar bear?
Don't wee on polar bears, kids. It's proper wrong.
Any song
By much-missed, not-even-big-enough-to-have-a-wiki-page boy-band 'Northern Line'.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Line_%28disambiguation%29
i think
they found love on the northern line those boys y'know ;->
'Kings Cross'
by the Pet Shop Boys.
'Angel' by Goldie.
Er... 'Whoreditch' by William?
