"I bet the world is a different place on EC4 ..." The Flys' EC4 is a neat anti-media manipulation number. The EC (Eastern Central) postcode sequence covers what is known as the City of London. The EC4 area itself covers St Paul's, Blackfriars, the legal area of Temple, and Fleet Street, which was at the time of The Flys' song still the heart of newspaper land and where the views of the nation were supposedly shaped. The Flys are best known for Love And A Molotov Cocktail, one of the greatest singles of the punk era. One of the greatest singles of any era. EC4 is available on a great, expanded edition of the Waikiki Beach Refugees LP. It originally appeared as a b-side to Fun City ...A site dedicated to songs about London. As simple as that. The only rules are that the songs must be brilliant and that the blindingly obvious numbers are excluded. The songs may be explicitly about London or obliquely about the city in some way. This is a project that was deliberately designed to last for one year. It will remain live for people to explore. So please enjoy discovering the lost and found songs of London, and do please spread the word.
