"The Metro", also published as "Metro", is a 1981 song written by John Crawford for his band, Berlin. Background The song was first released as a non-album single, "The Metro" b/w "Tell Me Why", on the MAO Music label in 1981. It reappeared, slightly remixed, on Berlin's breakthrough album ''Pleasure Victim'', released on the independent label Enigma in 1982 and re-released on Geffen in 1983.
