Non-Irish Bands who have made reference to Dublin in their lyrics?

Pigman II

Here's a few I can think of :

(1) The Smiths - Panic ('Panic on the streets of Carlisle Dublin, Dundee, Humberside ')

(2) Mansun - I can Only dissapoint you (I travelled from Dublin, you said you'd change the world...)

(3) Radiohead - How to Disappear Completely (I walk through walls I float down the Liffey )

Anybody know any others?

Simple Minds did. I think the song was called "Real Life" but there's a line "Shane came from Dublin town from the old world so green..."

Garth Brooks has a song called Ireland, don't know if there is any reference to Dublin made in it, I couldn't bring myself to listen to it.
Despite it being the only stuff that I had to listen to in my brothers house when I was minding his kids on night and the TV was broken.

They are the lyrics. I asked a mate, who's a big Simple Minds Fan, and he verified it for me so there.

Paul Kelly - Every F**king city

Foolishly I followed you to Dublin
Like a ghost I walked the streets of Temple Bar
And all the bright young things were throwing up their Guinness in the gutters
And once I thought I saw you from afar
Now I'm in a disco/nightclub in Helsinki
And they're playing La Vida Loca once again
And I can't believe I'm dancing to this crap but I'm a chance here
Yeah, every ****ing city sounds the same
