Lyric Snippets 8

Lyric quiz time again folks...

The lyric snippets below are from the last five songs played on my iPod this morning. Can you identify the songs?
  1. Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain, That could hold you dear lady from going insane, That could ease you and cool you and cease the pain, Of your useless and pointless knowledge
  2. And out on the subway, Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid, Exits into daylight, spraygun hid
  3. Painted words are whispered, Its no prayer, Whispering words, Are drifting like the snow
  4. It may seem strange but he'd admit, Intentions aren't exactly true, And though God loves his wife a bit, He hates the farmer through and through
  5. I dont know but I been told, A big legged woman aint got no soul

Answers in the comments please, and no Googling!

The full list of answers will be posted later.

The answers to Lyric Snippets 7 are now in the comments for that post.
