Every other guy's a has-been also-ran
EDIT: Oooh, now that I think of it, I think the line actually goes
Every other guy's a sad-sack also-ran

Hope I take as fiction
I have been so long without
I don't think I'll go down that road again

I don't know how to ask you out,
so I wrote this stupid song.
Now sing it out.
I sing it just for you.

Larry Tate is in my head,
"Have a drink" Larry Tate said.
Standing at the office bar,
gives me the keys to the company car.
It's really great,
when in your head is Larry Tate.

Mom, you amaze me.
Now you are my baby
when you call me crying on the telephone.

Man, I wanted K. I was going to use...
KOMPRESSOR DOES NOT DANCE.
Anyway, an N?
Nice young girl whose heart is breaking
Sees the shy boy and her hands are shaking
Hopes one day that their lips will meet
She doesn't want to be just another backseat girl.

this game really slacked off pretty quickly.
anyway...
not sure if songfight covers count? if not:
"on top of the screen,
i'm at point-blank range
but i can't kill the dog
though i try to for days"

and here's my submission:

from the bounty of your secret garden
squeeze it tightly till it's nice and hardened
heat compressed until it forms a diamond"

Seeing as Version 1 of this game has died down, here's version 2. I call this the Bad Poetry Game. Below is a bad piece of poetry. It's made up of 9 Songfight songs. Try and figure out what songs the lines came from. I've added some color to help.
it's so hard
to wake up
got no daybreak to remind me
i no longer have the urge
to freebase rock cocaine
also known as crack,
shoot smack or smoke kind buds
Enchantment, amnesia, dissassociation
Trauma, hypnosis, depersonalization
Wonder, certainty, preoccupation
Morale, hallucinosis, elation
i've felt this feeling before.
are they still staring?
their horns are blaring!
I don't like feeling sad and desperate
It's time.. I STOP
I think I've waited long enough
My current path it is leading nowhere
Seems I'm on a boat, on the land but still rowing
All the wrong choices that I have made
Tonight is the night they will be weighed
This time, I've got to get it right.
Pick my head up, take the left road not the right.
Cos I been wasting all the time that life gave me.
I gathered my strength and willed myself
I took a leap of faith
I took a leap of faith and killed myself
Can you place all 9 songs?
