I made a couple of judgment calls. Adjectives (e.g. Armenian, Bulgarian) don't count. Hang Fire doesn't specifically use the word England, nor does Blinded By Love specifically use the word Egypt.

"the Memory Motel" GREAT
"Harlem" ALREADY ON LIST
Another Munich (Highwire) Ooooh ... that's a tough call. After much deliberation, judges say "NO", since the song is clearly referring to the Munich Agreement, not the city itself.
'Barney's' (So Young) BLOODY HELL, YES
"Under services" - I mean Keith himself says to look him up there HA! NO
Can we claim St Mark's Place from the Waiting on a Friend' video? NO

Kentucky (Dead Flowers) Ooooh, another tough call. But judges say "NO" because it is referring to Kentucky Derby Day. We know the person he's singing about (Little Susie) is in back of her rose pink Cadillac, it's Kentucky Derby Day, and she's making bets. (Or is it even Kentucky Derby Day? Maybe it's another day, and she's making bets about what will happen on Kentucky Derby Day.)
But we don't know where that pink Caddy is. It could be in Kentucky. Or Bora Bora. Who knows.

the Pentagon - Sweet Neo Con Oooh, tough call. Judges note the Pentagon is a place but say the lyric is referring to the institution, not the place, so can't accept.
the Alamo - Mean Disposition Another tough call! Judges note the Alamo is a place but say the lyric is referring to the battle that took place there, not the place per se, so can't accept.
6th Street and Main - Hitch Hike ? Yes! And also Chicago, LA, and St Louis
