A bit too easy just to rattle off a few of these. What if each person had to name a song about a place near where they live? For me:
Millbrook - Rufus Wainwright

Best my small town is going to get. The Abington PA Masacree, about getting caught pissing in a local park. I'm about a five-minute walk from that. So, really local. And yes, the band is called Black Vomit.
Barring that, I'm sure there's something out there about Philly, and I think the Bloodhound Gang did something about the wonders and joys of Pennslyvania, such as they are.

Indeed if you met him you would think he is a public schoolboy. He used to be a fag.

Can't remember hearing the song ever (from Ummaguma). Nice place for a picnic in summer, especially at night after punting down the river at night, or to walk the dog.

'Five miles out of London on the Western Avenue' ...
Only a few miles outside of Cambridge, but feels like you're really out in the country (apart from the sound of traffic from the not so distant motorway).Who Shot Sam? wrote:Looks lovely.
