In starlit nights I saw you
So cruelly you kissed me
Your lips a magic world
Your sky all hung with jewels

Money is the key to end all your woes
Your ups and your downs, your highs and your lows
Won't you tell me last time that love bought you clothes?

Woman, you want me, give me a sign
And catch my breathing even closer behind

First one is Echo & The Bunny men, Killing Moon, not sure about middle one, last one is Duran Durna Hungry Liek the Wolf.

Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east
