Professor Peedston Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 we could probably do a whole thread on songs about new york. i say this because i'm in a new york state of mind, after seeing how the neon lights are bright on broadway. yeah i know, that was the lamest thing ever. here's what else i've got Bruce Springsteen - Streets of Philadelphia uh.... my band does a song called "Venice" that's all i've got.
