Cryptically-disguised song lyrics

Okay cool well done.

Round 4

Song 1

Surely there is an exit from here, the fool asked the robber.
I don't understand what's going on and can gain no surcease.
Tycoons imbime the fruit of the vine which is mine.
Farmers till my fields;
Not one person will be straight with me
Of afford me his sworn oath.

Answer: "All Along the Watchtower" by Bob Dylan

Song 2

I can't say recently that I've seen your eyes anything but open on the occasions when I show affection to you,
Nor is there any soft feeling when I touch your hand.
You endeavour to conceal it but I am very much aware
You have misplaced that emotion of affection
Oh that emotion of affection
You have misplaced that emotion of affection
It is no more.

Answer: "You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling" by The Righteous Brothers

Song 3

I have made my way to the summit of the tallest peaks
I have rushed through meadows
For the sole purpose of being in your company
For the sole purpose of being in your company.
I have hurried myself, I have gone on my knees;
I have climbed the ramparts that surround this urban centre of population
For the sole purpose of being in your company
For the sole purpose of being in your company.
Yet I remain unable to locate that for which it is I seek.

Answer: "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" by U2

Song 4

Existence is not explainable
We all must face it on our own
The sound of my appelation comes to me
And reminds me of the place I live.

When you address me it's similar to a small invocation
I take a submissive posture and want to bring you to where I am
After 23:59 I am able to experience your strength
Identical to a plea to the heavens you are aware I will convey you to that place.

Song 5

Prior to Saturday morning with inadequate illumination
Searching for a destination
Where the melodies you prefer are played
Becoming accustomed to it
You arrive to search for a monarch
Who could be anyone; the darkness has yet to age and the sounds are soaring
And you are of a mind to bust some moves
And when the opportunity presents itself...

Song 6

At a time when you feel tired and not at all large
When you want to cry
I will ensure your eyes are not wet.
I am your ally through bad situations,
When companions are difficult to come by;
Similar to a structure which crosses problematic liquid
I shall prostrate myself.

Answer: "Bridge over Troubled Water" by Simon and Garfunkel

I guessed it without cheating this time, but had to check to be sure

"Dancing Queen" by ABBA? Haven't checked this one but seems right

Well done, GD! Those ones seemed to give the most difficulty, and fair play to you for not Googling (not sure if that would have helped, given my convoluted way of writing simple lyrics, but still).

That, then, completes round 4. New round coming up.

Round 5

Song 1

Is it not wealthy? Are we not two of the same kind?
Me resting on terra firma, you suspended high above me
But does anyone know the location of the harlequins?
Despatch the harlequins to this place.

Answer: "Send in the Clowns" by Stephen Sondheim

Song 2

You entered the celebration as if boarding a pleasure craft
Your crowning glory draped with special care across one part of your face
And one of the garments that adorned your neck was a pinkish colour
You retained half a gaze at your reflection as you observed yourself move
And every lady hoped that they might join you, that they might join you

Answer: "You're So Vain" by Carly Simon

Song 3

It appears to her to be but a small thing, she with her off-colour brown hair
But her parents don't think so, one of which is screaming in negation while the other has ordered her to depart
She cannot find her companion and journeys through unreality, feeling submerged
Arrives at the optium position in the cinema, addicted as she is to the film
However it turns out to be quite tedious, ten times more a reflection of her life than fantasy
And she is angry as she remembers idiots as they request her to assume a certain aspect
For mariners having an altercation at a discotheque
Indeed! Observe them! What a strange spectacle!
See too, the police officer mistakenly taking his rage out on the incorrect culprit
Dear me! I question whether he will ever realise he too is in a carnival of sorts?

Answer: "Life on Mars" by David Bowie

Song 4

Time has passed in such a manner recently that I've been able to count it clearly
Following the departure of your affection which you removed from me
Only by darkness do I exit now, by day I remain in bed
Following the departure of your affection which you removed from me
Now that you have departed I am at liberty to do as I please and meet with whom I select
I am also free to consume my evening meal in a notable eating establishment
But there is nothing that will make me happy.

Answer: "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Sinead O'Connor (written by Prince duh)

Song 5

Your position was quite lowly, serving tables when I encountered you
I selected you, ruffled you somewhat, reversed you and created a thing entirely fresh
Now, sixty months later, the planet resides at your toes and it has been very easy for you to achieve your goals
However, never forget to keep in mind that it was I who made this possible and I am quite able to reverse the situation and return you to where you were previously.

Answer: "Don't You Want Me" by Human League

Song 6

Not standing in the rays of the early sunshine, I shall remain not standing when the shadows lengthen towards night time
Observing the vessels approach and then continuing to observe as they depart
Relaxing at the harbour, my eyes tracking the recession of the waves
Relaxing at the habour, doing nothing important.

Answer: "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay" by Otis Redding
