Default Cryptically-disguised song lyrics

Yeah, me again. Shut up. I've rewritten the lyrics of famous songs; see if you can get them. They're ones everyone should know.

Link to Current Round

Note: Hosting previous rounds here doesn't work now as the MCC (Max Character Count) has been exceeded by round 8, so I'll just post the link to the current round. Sorry.

Well there was never any doubt you'd get that one, was there? Any of the others? Should be easy if you think about it.

Absolutely not. Far more well-known.

You might even say a one-hit wonder, perhaps.

Song 6

Are there any occupants? Merely tilt your head in agreement if my voice reaches your ears
Is this place occupied?
Approach, my information is that you are depressed
I can lessen your aches, allow you to stand up again.
Take it easy, before anything I will require some data
Merely some generic details
Are you able to indicate where you have pain?
"Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd?

Song 2

Were I to depart from you is it possible I would remain in your memory?
For I have to make many journeys and there are so many sights I have to experience.
Should I remain here things would have to change
As I have a certain type of liberty I must express
And that is not something you can alter.
"Free Bird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd?

Lord help my soul!
