Can't help with the first three, but here's "Smoke Gets in Your
Eyes" (from memory):
---------------------------------------------------
They . . . asked me how I knew
My true love was true.
Oh, oh.
I of course replied,
"Something here inside
Cannot be denied."
They . . . said, "Someday you'll find
All who love are blind."
Oh, oh.
"When your heart's on fire,
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes."
So I chaffed
Them, and I gaily laughed
To think they could doubt . . . my . . . love.
Yet today,
My love has flown away.
I am without . . . my . . . love.
Now . . . laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide.
Oh, oh.
So, I smile and say,
"When a lovely flame dies,
Smoke gets in your eyes."
(Smoke gets in your eyes.
Smoke gets in your eyes.)
Smoke . . . gets . . . in . . . your . . . eyes!

Hey girl, what you doin' down there
Dancin' alone every night while I live right above you
I can hear the music playin'
I can hear your body swayin'
One floor below me, you don't even know me, I love you
Oh my darlin' knock three times on the ceiling if you want me
Twice on the pipe if the answer is no
Oh my sweetness, [knock knock knock] means you'll meet me in the hallway
Twice on the pipe [knock knock] means you aint gonna show

I'll give Knock Three Times a shot, but it's strictly from memory. You
sure that was Lobo? I remeber a Tony Orlando and Dawn version. Hope
it's the same song...
Knock Three Times
Hey girl what ya doin' tonight
Dancin' alone every night while I live right above you
I can hear your music playin'
I can feel your body swayin'
One floor below me you don't even know me
I love you
{Chorus}
Oh my sweetness
Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me
Twice on the pipe, means the answer is no
Oh my darling
{ding} {ding} {ding} means you'll meet me in the hallway
Twice on the pipe, means you ain't gonna show
If you look out your window tonight
Pull in the string with the note that's attached to my heart
Read how many times I saw you
How in my silence I adored you
Only in my dreams if that's what it means (??)
To be with you ((??)) [grasping at straws here...]
{Chorus}
Maybe another verse here... I've run out of memory!! Argh!

On second thought... "tonight" should be "down there"
: Dancin' alone every night while I live right above you

Bits & pieces is the best that I can do -
winding your way down on bakers street
light in your head and dead on your feet
its another rainy day
while the night away (?)
when you thought it held every thing
he's got this dream about buying some land
he's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
and then he'll settle down in this quiet little town
and forget about everything
and you know he's gonna keep moving
and you know he'll never stop moving
he's rolling, he's a rolling stone
