Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ TRIBUTE TO VEGETA ❯ TRIBUTE TO VEGETA ( One-Shot )

This is a tribute to Vegeta. It's a collection of songs that I thought would suit him. The first is a poem though, and the lines with a * have been changed to suit Vegeta. The original lines are at the end of the poem. PS: the songs will fit better if you download them with Morpheus, Imesh, KaZaA, Napster or something like that. The artists are included. I do not own any of Akira Toriyama's Z characters, but I do own my made-ups. I don't own any of these songs or the poem.



I Am A Rock

By: Paul Simon



A winter's day

In a deep and dark December;

I am alone,

Gazing from my window

To the streets below

On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.

I am a rock,

I am an island.



I've built walls,

A fortress deep and mighty,

That none may penetrate.

I have no need of friendship,

Friendship causes pain.

It's laughter and loving I disdain.

I am a rock,

I am an island.



Don't talk of love;

But I've heard the word before;

It's sleeping in my memory.

I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.

If I never loved then I never would have cried.

I am a rock,

I am an island.

*I have my pride

*And my strength to protect me;

I am shielded in my armour,

Hiding in my room,

Safe within my womb.

I touch no one and no one touches me,

I am a rock,

I am an island.

And a rock feels no pain;

And an island never cries

A/N: the original starred lines are 'I have my books and my poetry to protect me;' which obviously doesn't suit Vegeta so I changed the words a little. I don't own the poem, even the altered one.

My December

By: Linkin Park



This is my December

This is my time of the year

This is my December

This is all so clear



This is my December

This is my snow-covered home

This is my December

This is me alone



And I

Just wish that I didn't feel

Like there was something I missed

And I

Take back all the things I said

To make you feel like that

And I

Just wish that I didn't feel

Like there was something I missed

And I

Take back all the things I said to you



And I'd give it all away

Just to have somewhere to go to

Give it all away

To have someone to come home to



This is my December

These are my snow covered dreams

This is me pretending

This is all I need



And I

Just wish that I didn't feel

Like there was something I missed

And I

Take back all the things I said

To make you feel like that

And I

Just wish that I didn't feel

Like there was something I missed

And I

Take back all the things I said to you



And I'd give it all away

Just to have somewhere to go to

Give it all away

To have someone to come home to



This is my December

This is my time of the year

This is my December

This is all so clear



Give it all away

Just to have somewhere to go to

Give it all away

To have someone to come home to (x2)







Papercut

By: Linkin Park



Why does it feel like night today?

Something in here's not right today.

Why am I so uptight today?

Paranoia's all I got left

I don't know what stressed me first

Or how the pressure was fed

But I know just what it feels like

To have a voice in the back of my head

It's like a face that I hold inside

A face that awakes when I close my eyes

A face watches every time I lie

A face that laughs every time I fall

(And watches everything)

So I know that when it's time to sink or swim

That the face inside is hearing me

Right underneath my skin



It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back

It's like a whirlwind inside of my head

It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within

It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin



I know I've got a face in me

Points out all my mistakes to me

You've got a face on the inside too and

Your paranoia's probably worse

I don't know what set me off first but I know what I can't stand

Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is

I can't add up to what you can but

Everybody has a face that they hold inside

A face that awakes when I close my eyes

A face watches every time they lie

A face that laughs every time they fall

(And watches everything)

So you know that when it's time to sink or swim

That the face inside is watching you too

Right inside your skin



It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back

It's like a whirlwind inside of my head

It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within

It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin



The face inside is right beneath your skin (3x)



The sun goes down

I feel the light betray me (Repeat until end)



It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back

It's like a whirlwind inside of my head

It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within

It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin (Repeat until end)







By Myself

By: Linkin Park



What do I do to ignore them behind me?

Do I follow my instincts blindly?

Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams

And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?

Do I sit here and try to stand it?

Or do I try to catch them red-handed?

Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness,

Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?

Because I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin

I make the right moves but I'm lost within

I put on my daily façade but then

I just end up getting hurt again

By myself (Myself)



Pre chorus:

I ask why, but in my mind

I find I can't rely on myself



Chorus:

I can't hold on

To what I want when I'm stretched so thin

It's all too much to take in

I can't hold on

To anything watching everything spin

With thoughts of failure sinking in



If I turn my back I'm defenseless

And to go blindly seems senseless

If I hide my pride and let it all go on

Then they'll take from me 'till everything is gone

If I let them go I'll be outdone

But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun

If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer

Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer

(By myself)



Pre chorus

Chorus

How do you think I've lost so much

I'm so afraid, I'm out of touch

How do you expect I will know what to do

When all I know is what you tell me to



Don't you know

I can't tell you how to make it go

No matter what I do, how hard I try

I can't seem to convince myself why

I'm stuck on the outside

(x2)

Chorus (2x)







A Place For My Head

By: Linkin Park



I watch how the moon sits in the sky on a dark night

Shinin with the light from the sun

But the sun doesn't give light to the moon assuming

The moon's going to owe it one

It makes me think of how you act to me

You do favors and then rapidly

You just turn around and start asking me about

Things you want back from me



Pre chorus:

I'm sick of the tension, sick of the hunger

Sick of you acting like I owe you this

Find another place to feed your greed

While I find a place to rest



Chorus:

I want to be in another place

I hate when you say you don't understand

(You'll see it's not meant to be)

I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy

A place for my head

Maybe someday I'll be just like you, and

Step on people like you do and

Run away the people I thought I knew

I remember back then who you were

You used to be calm, used to be strong

Used to be generous, but you should've known

That you'd wear out your welcome

Now you see how quiet it is, all alone



Pre chorus (2x)

Chorus



You try to take the best of me

Go away (x8)



Chorus



Pre chorus (2x)







Eye Of The Tiger By: Survivor



Risin' up, back on the street

Did my time, took my chances

Went the distance

Now I'm back on my feet

Just a man and his will to survive



So many times, it happens too fast

You trade your passion for glory

Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past

You must fight just to keep them alive



It's the eye of the tiger

It's the thrill of the fight

Risin' up to the challenge

Of our rival

And the last known survivor

Stalks his prey in the night

And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger



Face to face, out in the heat

Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry

They stack the odds

Still we take to the street

For the kill with the skill to survive



Chorus:

It's the eye of the tiger

It's the thrill of the fight

Risin' up to the challenge

Of our rival

And the last known survivor

Stalks his prey in the night

And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger

Risin' up straight to the top

Had the guts, got the glory

Went the distance

Now I'm not gonna stop

Just a man and his will to survive



(Chorus)



The eye of the tiger

(4 times till fade)







You Can't Take Me

By: Bryan Adams

You can't take me, yeah!

Got to fight another fight, I gotta run another night

I'll get it out, check it out

I'm on my way and it don't feel right

I gotta get me back, I can't be a beat that's a fact

It's OK, I'll find a way

You ain't gonna take me down, no way

Don't judge a thing until you know what's inside it

Don't push me, I'll fight it

Never gonna give in, never gonna give it up no

If you can't catch a wave then you're never gonna ride it

You can't come uninvited

Never gonna give in, never gonna give it up no

You can't take me, I'm free

Why did it all go wrong? I wanna know what's going 'on

And what's this holding me?

I'm not what I'm supposed to be

I gotta fight another fight

I gotta fight with all my might

I'm getting out, so check it out

You're in my way, yeah you'd better watch out!

Don't judge a thing until you know what's inside it

Don't push me, I'll fight it

Never gonna give in, never gonna give it up no

If you can't catch a wave then you're never gonna ride it

You can't come uninvited

Never gonna give in, never gonna give it up no

You can't take me, I'm free

Oh yeah, I'm free



Get Off My Back

By: Bryan Adams

Well you think that you can take me on

You must be crazy

There ain't a single thing you've done

That's gonna phase me

Oh but if you want to have a go

I just want to let your know, yeah

Get off my back and into my game

Get out of my way and out of my brain

Get outta my face or give it your best shot

I think it's time you better face the fact

Get off of my back

You know it's all just a game I'm playing

Don't think that you can find a way in

That's what I'm saying

Oh if you want to have a go

I just wanna let you know...

Oh get off my back and into my game

Get out of my way and out of my brain

Get outta my face or give it your best shot

I think it's time you better face the fact

Get off of my back

Oh but if you want to have a go

I just want to let your know get off get off, yeah

Oh get off my back and into my game

Get out of my way and out of my brain

Get outta my face or give it your best shot

You know this train is coming off this track

Get off of my back, yeah, get off of my back

Get off. Yeah. Get off, get off, get off, get off, get off (get off), get off (get off), get off (get off), get off of my back

Sound The Bugle

By: Bryan Adams

Sound the bugle now

Play it just for me.

As the seasons change, remember how I used to be.

Now I can't go on

I can't even start.

I got nothing left

Just an empty heart.

I'm a soldier, wounded so I must give up the fight.

There's nothing more for me

Lead me away or leave me lyin here.



Sound the bugle now

Tell them I don't care.

There's not a road I know that leads to anywhere.

Without a light I fear that I will stumble in the dark

Lay right down, decide not to go on.



Then from on high, somewhere in the distance

There's a voice that calls

'Remember who you are.

If you lose yourself, your courage soon will follow.

So be strong tonight, remember who you are.'



Yeah you're a soldier now

Fighting in a battle

To be free once more.

Yeah that's worth fighting for.

I Just Want You To Know Who I Am

By: Goo Goo Dolls (I believe.)

And I'd give up forever to touch you

'Cause I know that you feel me somehow

You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be

And I don't want to go home right now And all I can taste is this moment

And all I can breathe is your life

'Cause sooner or later it's over

I just don't want to miss you tonight And I don't want the world to see me

'Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming

Or the moment of truth in your lies

When everything feels like the movies

Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive And I don't want the world to see me

'Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am And I don't want the world to see me

'Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am And I don't want the world to see me

'Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am (x4)

Princess Mononoke Theme



In the moonlight I felt your heart

Quiver like a bowstring's pulse

In the moon's pale light

You looked at me

Nobody knows your heart

When the sun has gone, I see you,

Beautiful and haunting, but cold

Like the blade of a knife, so sharp, so sweet

Nobody knows your heart

All of your sorrow, grief and pain

Locked away in the forests of the night

Your secret heart belongs to the world

Of the things that sigh in the dark,

Oh the things that cry in the dark













M y Way

By: Limp Bizket



You think you're special, you do.

I can see it in your eyes,

I can see it when you laugh at me,

Look down on me, and walk around on me

Just one more fight about your leadership

And I will straight up leave your shit,

Cause I've had enough of this.

And now I'm pissed. Yeah!

This time I'ma let it all come out,

This time I'ma stand up and shout,

I'ma do things my way, it's my way,

My way or the highway.

(x2)

Just one more fight about a lot of things,

And I will give up everything

To be on my own again, free again.

Yeah!

This time I'ma let it all come out,

This time I'ma stand up and shout,

I'ma do things my way, it's my way,

My way or the highway. (x2)

Someday you'll see things my way.

Cause you never know, no you never know,

When you're gonna go.

Someday you'll see things my way,

Cause you never know, no you never know

When you're gonna go.

Just one more fight and I'll be history.

Yes I will straight up leave your shit.

And you'll be the one who's left

Missin me.

Yeah!

(Chorus x2)

Someday you'll see things my way.

Cause you never know, no you never know when you're gonna go.

Someday you'll see things my way.

Cause you never know, no you never know.
