Street Names

(Read only, anymore; sorry.)
Short version of rules
Without using a search engine to find one, write down at least eight words of a song containing the word (or the topic, if it's a general topic).
If it's the newest word, play once, and wait for another player to play before you go again.
On older words, you can play over and over without waiting!

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
The Beatles
I've seen the lights go out on broadway
I saw the empire state laid low
And life went on beyond the palisades
They all bought cadillacs and left there along ago
can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?
They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
Come and meet
Those dancing feet
On the avenue I'm taking you to
Forty-second street.
(Harry Warren/Al Dubin)
It's at Portage and Main you'll see them again
On their way to the hills of Alberta
With lop-side grins, they waggle their chins
And they brag of the wage they'll be earning
Then it's quick, pull the string boys, and get the loot out
Haul it away, haul it away
But just two years ago you could hear the same shout
Where the whales make free in the harbor
- Stan Rogers, Free in the Harbor
Well everybody better move over that's all
I'm running on the bad side, got my back to the wall
Tenth Avenue freeze out
Tenth Avenue freeze out
Bruce Springsteen
(I don't understand it but it's still in my head)
Nothin' shakin on Shakedown Street, Used to be the heart of town.
Shakedown Street
The Grateful Dead
Winding you way down Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Baker Street
Gerry Raffferty
It's down at the end of Lonely Street
At Heartbreak Hotel

Spotting every star they can on Sunset

Century Boulevard (We love it!)
Victory Boulevard (We love it!)
Santa Monica Boulevard (We love it!)
Sixth Street (We love it, we love it!)
I love L.A. - Randy Newman
Ventura Highway in the sunshine
Where the days are brighter and the nights are stronger than moonshine
Ventura Highway
America
All the vampires walking through the valley
Move west down Ventura Boulevard
Free Falling
Tom Petty
Get your kicks
On Route 66...
.... Gallup, New Mexico
(not eight in a row, but eight)
I keep thinking "Highway to Hell" and "Life in the Fast Lane" but those probably wouldn't count?
He works at Mister Cacciatore's down on Sullivan Street
Across from the Medical Center
Moving Out (Anthony's Song)
Billy Joel
On Raglan Road on an autumn day
I saw her first and knew
That her dark hair would weave a snare
That I might one day rue
"Raglan Road"
Patrick Kavanagh/Luke Kelly
But when I kissed a copy down at 34th and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion #9
On the avenue, 5th Avenue,
photographers will snap us.
Easter Parade song
By design I'd be a rich man
Maybe be the envy of Bay Street
But I had to leave before that city
Killed the small town boy in me
The Best Things
Sons Of Maxwell
We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Eddy Grant
Downtown where the cabs don't stop
Downtown where the food is slop
Downtown where the hop-heads flop in the snow
Down on Skid Row
-- Little Shop of Horrors
We could generate a lot of heat
On 52nd street
soon will be the break of day
sitting here in Blue Jay Way
Beatles
Have you seen the well-to-do
Up and down Park Avenue
Puttin' on the Ritz
Taco
They say the neon lights are bright
On Broadway
(I'm not sure if this counts or not)
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Green Day
Oh it's opening time down on Fascination Street ...
Fascination Street, The Cure
There's a moon over Bourbon Street tonight
I see the faces as they pass beneath the lamplight
(Sting)
