Aha! Yes, yes, yes! 
Here's a couple...
1.)"You've been talking in circles since I've been able to cry"
2.)"I want a fine perfume,
A powder blue Corvette
If there's a slower death
than living here and now,
They haven't found it yet
I need a man who knows
What I am really worth
And I don't give a damn
about a life after death
But I've gotta get some proof
that there's a life after birth!"
The second one is so new that it isn't even out on CD yet (or if it is I can't find it... PLEASE send it if you have! ), but it's promised on the artist's next project (supposedly in progress). It was featured on an event honouring a life-event of its creator (composer).
The artist had several hits in the US around mid-to-late seventies? Maybe early eighties, then pretty much disappeared round here. She has several international albums that can be picked up via a link at http://majik.nexix.net/Music/ .
(And I wouldn't be giving out so many hints with the lyrics except that it -is- so new. )

what you know as km Posted Oct 20, 1999
Ah! Yes!
It's as near as.
Though I'm not sure it's *leaving.* I think it might be *trying.*
I think the committee should make a rule to only ask questions that the question-askers can figure out the answers to.

Ah yes, I believe your 'trying' is closer to the correct version.. Collaborative effort, then?
Music Trivia
$u$ Posted Oct 20, 1999
The collaborative effort gets it then!
*ahem* 'Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's busy, too busy to come to the phone. Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's tryin' to start a new life of her own'.
Congrats you two!

I guess that'll have to be ten points each, for all the effort! And as it was so popular *!?!* let's have another lyrical challenge!
Even if I am in love with you
All this to say, what's it to you

"...Observe the blood, the rose tattoo
Of the fingerprints on me from you..."

Too easy huh? Okay, 10 points WF, and for my next trick...
Complete the lyric, AND tell me who wrote it (no copping out with band names, either!). 20 points:

Okely Dokely Monsieir 'sus,
"...Memories will remind you,
That our love was meant to be
Late at night when you call my name,
The only sound you'll hear,
Is the sound of your voice calling,
Calling after me
Just throwing it all away,
Throwing it all away..."
'Throwing It All Away' off Genesis' "Invisible Touch" albun - lyrics mainly written by Mike Rutherford
