With the theme being something about songs and poems - elements or subjects within them, perhaps? 'Water hot' is one, and 'And then to bed!' is in another song.
Maybe it's hobbit songs?

That's some really good theorising, but falls foul of the fact that the answer isn't bed.
It's
WILMA.
1. - An old man eats, hears an old thorn. [1]
2. - Kick it in, lose the first in third but gain the fourth, and Bilbo brings it home. [3]
3. - A policeman to fill the tubs. [5]
WILMA - Of old a lower vista for Fred's wife, mother of rock. [4]
5. - What the wizard brings to five plus a vowel. [4]
6. - In forbidden tongue the type of gaol is more than half cross, note. [2]
WATER - Noble when hot? Tyler sounds uncertain. [3]
8. - Thrice ten is a lot, but only three each below the window and in the song. [1]
(It's an older Quenya word for the 'lower airs', as a subset of
vista, the airs as a whole.)
