Leicester Square circa 1956. I don't know if I already told this story, but I was in London in 2006 to an Anthony Robbins event... It was absolutely fantastic! Most of the time I watched Anthony Robbins together with 10.000 other people from all over the world, and because of that I didn't get to see much of London... but I had a few hours before I had to go back to Denmark again, and guess where I went? Michael went to Leicester Square...

They forgot they told us what this old land was for. Grow two tons the acre, boy, between the stones. This was no Southfork, it was no Ponderosa. But it was the place that I called home.

Dirty white caravans down narrow roads sailing Vivas, Cortinas, weaving in their wake With hot, red-faced drivers, horns' flattened fifths wailing Putting trust in blind corners as they overtake
And it's "Oh, come willing now Spend a shilling now Stack up the back of your new motor car" There's home-dyed woollens And wee plastic Cuillins The day of the Broadford Bazaar
Out of the north, no oil rigs are drifting And jobs for the many are down to the few Blue-bottle choppers, they visit no longer Like flies to the jam pots, they were just passing through
And it's "Oh, come willing now Spend a shilling now Stack up the back of your new motor car" Where once stood oil rigs so phallic There's only swear words in Gaelic To say at the Broadford Bazaar
All kinds of people come down for the opening Crofters and cottars, white settlers galore And up on the hill, there's an old sheep that's dying But it had two new lambs born just a fortnight before
And it's "Oh, come willing now Spend a shilling now Stack up the back of your new motor car" We'll take pounds, francs and dollars from the well-heeled And stamps from the Green Shield The day of the Broadford BazaarPhoto credit: Mathieu Bouchard

Now the sun breaks through rain as I climb Glen Shiel On the trail of those old cattlemen who drove their bargain south again. And in the eyes of those Five Sisters of Kintail There's a wink of seduction from the mainland.Five Sisters of Kintail

Figured I would contribute to this thread: I made a Google Map of all places that have been directly mentioned in Tull lyrics through the years so you can look at all of them at a glance. If you click on a location pin it will tell you the song (and year) it was referenced in. Possible that I missed a few but I think it's mostly complete. drive.google.com/open?id=1XLn9SJyU9QLCcpIVG095N8SZoqk&usp=sharing

Somewhere in a town in England. Could be Newcastle, Leeds or Birmingham. And were you made in England's green and pleasant land.

She longs for the East and a pale dress flowing An apartment in old Mayfair Or to fish the Spey, spinning the first run of Spring Or to die for a cause somewhere The River Spey (Scottish Gaelic: Uisge Spè) is a river in the northeast of Scotland. It is the ninth longest river in the United Kingdom, as well as the third longest and fastest-flowing river in Scotland. It is important for salmon fishing and whisky production. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Spey

Not sure whether IA albums count or you just want Tull but if they do, then there is Montserrat.

Our footsteps o'er the Doggerland, Chased retreating ice and snow, Left us breathing high and dry, Land's End to Scapa Flow. The seeds of Albion, wind-blown Free, scattered to the moors, Dormant beneath the the soggy heath Where stouter oaks will grow.
