Beat me to it! I had to cheat too though

And demand of him to surrender his riches to me
Or he could go to Hell.

"Whiskey in the Jar" - Who wrote it? Only you, Trollheart, could possibly know that.

Grateful Dead, Dubliners, The Irish Rovers, The Pogues, Metallica, Thin Lizzy... all sang it.

Cheated again...I mean "passively researched"!

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
