Northern SkyLine

Interesting Radio 2 documentary on Paul Simon last night, including a recording of his homage to the Northern Line, including these words (although the sound quality was very poor):

Along came the Northern Line, [along came the Tube?],
All the way from Clapham South, down to Waterloo,
Stopped at [two-one?] Balham Heath,
Stopped at Leicester Square,
The people were in the station,
George [Crumpet?] - he was there.

Off the top of my head, I don't know of any other songs mentioning my least favourite place to be, except this tongue-in-cheek offering from Marillion:

"The polar ice is melting
Suits me fine
We go to the beach on the Northern Line"

Shuffle ALL:

Signal to Noise - Peter Gabriel,
Nucleogenesis Pt2 - Vangelis,
Cripple Creek Ferry - Neil Young,
Paintbox - Pendragon,
The Prince - Madness,
The Village, Adagio for Strings - Samuel Barber, from the Platoon OST,

Halloween - Japan,
Sugar Mice - Marillion,
Two Faced - Miles Davis, from the Complete In A Silent Way Sessions,
Ava Adore - The Smashing Pumpkins,
Cross-Eyed Mary - Jethro Tull,
