Guess the song thread

[NewYorkExpress]

On the Avenue there ain't never a curfew
Ladies work so hard
Such a melting pot on the corner selling rock
Preachers pray to God

Empire State of Mind

You'll never know how I watched you
from the shadows as a child
you'll never know how it feels to be the one
who's left behind
You'll never know the days, the nights,
the tears, the tears I've cried
but now my time has come
and time, time is not on your side

Hint: It's written by Bono Vox.

Where the streets have no name?

Each of is chosen there's a mission just for you/Just look inside You'd be surprised what you can do.

You guessed my song wrong.
Hint: It's the best James Bond theme ever.

I hate having to use Wikipedia to find answers, and I don't like Goldeneye much anyways.

Next person please.

"I was standing by this palm tree
just waiting for the boss to pass
When she came up to me as bold as can be,
and she grabbed me right by the arm
She says 'Hey, I got something that I want you to do,'
and she gave me the key to her 102..."

Ok, I don't want to shut down this thread.  Those are the opening lines to George Gritzbach's 1979 song "Sweeper and the Debutante."  One of my older brothers used to play it all the time, and I recently discovered a friend was a member of the recording band.  I just had to throw something old in that no one would recognize, since I don't recognize any of the new stuff you young'uns are posting.
