I'd say "[b]Angel[/b] of Harlem" by U2 but I ****ing hate U2
The Chieftans recorded "The Pride of Pimlico"
OK, so I believe they were writing it about a pub, but it's got a tube station in the name. A station that is unique in that it contains none of the letters in the word "badger".
Thought so.

In similar vain - St John's Wood is the only station to contain none of the letters from the word "mackerel".

Eton Rifles. Is there a station in Eton?
Windsor and Eton I think.
got the HMHB "Joy Division Oven Gloves" stuck in head now (and can't find any station names in there, unless there's a station called Quantocks).
Is there a station in Eton?
Windsor & Eton Riverside, and Windsor & Eton Central.
Songs that just name places with a train station don't really count though, as mentioned you've got any number of songs with "Angel" in them! Plus virtually any town! Frank Turner mentions Winchester in numerous songs, actually in the context of catching a train in at least one song.
The reason it's UK only is that worldwide would just be too difficult, and most of us stand a chance. American stations don't count.
OK, so I believe they were writing it about a pub
Doesn't have to be ABOUT a railway station, it just has to contain the complete name of the station. Angel of Harlem is a goodun 🙂
I originally said lyrics, but that's a bit broad.. prehaps title is better which is how people have interpreted it. Of course there are many songs with Angel in but that station's already been used, as has Winchester, so you need another.
I never thought it would happen
With me and the girl from Clapham (South, Common, North)
'London' by the Smiths. Euston station gets a specific mention.
Dover is Dover Priory (thought there used to be Dover Harbour too?), so that one above wouldn't count.
