Are we talking what was once referred to as the slave coast, if so then Benin is my guess.

According to some research by The Guardian what song was written whilst Luton Town v Manchester United was being televised live.

That could have been written by Luton as they lost 0-5, but it isn't the song I am after.

Not that one.

Not this one either.
I will tell you that the match in question was played in the old first division.

Glory Glory Man United? (the B-side was better and why I bought the single).

You will be shocked when I declare this a wrong answer.
The song in question was written at the parental home of the songwriter, the match was being shown on the television at the time.

A clue.
The song was written by one half of a pop duo.

Grief, that was just a wild guess based on the comment of it being written by one half of a pop duo.
Where is the highest sea cliff in the United Kingdom?
Is it the one east of Charmouth in Dorset?
I’m going to prepare myself for looking silly now and say it might be called High Cliff or something similar.
Even as I’m about to post this I’m sure I’m wrong. I have a backup though!
You mean Golden Cap, but I don't think that's the highest in the UK, just in England. Isn't it the one at the north end of Scotland used as an RAF bombing range?

Ok. My second guess would have been Hangman’s Cliff on the Exmoor, North Devon coast?
