Joanne Lee, Jarvis Cocker and Park Hill

An interesting tipoff from a Joanne Lee post.

I'm not sure I've ever heard this Pulp track before. It starts with the list of some familiar Sheffield suburbs.

Intake, Manor Park, The Wicker, Norton, Freshville Hackenthorpe, Shalesmoor, Wombwell, Catcliffe Brincliffe, Attercliffe, Ecclesall, Woodhouse, Wybourn, Pitsmoor, Badger, Wincobank, Crookes, Walkley Broomhill

Sheffield Sex City's lyrics continue, later on in the song, describing sitting on a hill overlooking the city:

And listen, I wandered the streets the whole night crying, trying to pick up your scent
Writing messages on walls and the puddles of rain reflected your face in my eyes.
We finally made it on a hill-top at four a.m.
The whole city is your jewellery-box; a million twinkling yellow street lights.


What other songs take place in cities in the same way?

New York Paris London Munich everybody talk about Pop Music.
