The most Bristol band of all, The Blue Aeroplanes...
"She went all the way to Anti-Pretty, she drove herself there,

Me too, I ate one sour too.
The Roadette song by Kilburn and the high roads. Although the word is used in the plural and possibly in a context unintended by the OP.

I bet there's a lot of old sea shanties and the like that are long forgotten. I can think of Bournemouth Runner - The Fall (whatever Bristol ball is)
Was chilled to the bone
At 8am
On a Bournemouth morn
There was a drum deck
Outside (Route/room?) 51
Two nights before
Bristol ball
A runner took backdrop, exit hall

Al Stewart, "Clifton in the Rain."
Al Stewart and Laurence Juber perform a new 2016 version of his 1960s song Clifton In The Rain, specially filmed to be shown as a greeting to the audience at the 50th Anniversary celebration of the legendary Bristol Troubadour Club which is mentioned in the song.
Al - just named as recipient of the BBC Folk Awards Lifetime Achievement Award in 2017 - was one of the most popular and regular guest artists at the club at 5 Waterloo Street, Clifton Village, Bristol, which ran from 1966 to 1971 and now has a blue plaque to mark it!

Indeed, but not some of Bob Dylan's finest lyrics.
