Ok, still outstanding from 38:

Out of the ruins
Out from the wreckage
Can't make the same mistake this time
We are the children

Yes Tina Turner but so far wrong title.

And who sung Addicted to love????

Addicted to Love was Robert Palmer

A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

That my feelings tonight
Are a stain on my notebook
That rings your goodbye

I will collect you
and capture you

The city is crowded, my friends are away
And I'm on my own
It's too hot to handle, so I got to get up and go

I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
