Grenoble's history goes back more than 2,000 years, and it has been the capital of the Dauphiné since the 11th century. It experienced a period of economic expansion in the nineteenth and 20th centuries, symbolized by the holding of the X Olympic Winter Games in 1968. The city is now a significant scientific centre in Europe.

I had a dream about you last night
I dreamed that you were dead
When I woke up I wanted to call
And get it out of my head
But we don't talk anymore
I made sure of that
But I'd give anything to hear your voice
I would do better if I could go back
I'm sorry for your tears
I'm sorry I never told you in all of these years
I didn't leave you like I should
I hope you found someone to love you like I tried to
But never could
I always knew that it wasn't right
To get involved with you
But I never thought that you would fall so fast
Got me to thinkin', "what the hell am I gonna do?"
But now you seem like you're fine
Like you've moved on with your life
But I'd give anything to talk to you
And tell you I know I didn't treat you right
You live and you learn
You build and sometimes you just watch it all burn
I had a dream about you last night
We need to talk despite the hour 'cause just like time, this comes too late
You've been tellin' me I need to change or else you'll go away
I've been searching every inch of me to find within myself
A way to give you what you want and not become somebody else
You just want my passion, but you don't want my pain
You don't even really care 'bout what's inside my brain
You think that I don't know what's goin on behind my back
But you seem to underestimate this very simple fact
I won't let you hurt me
I won't beg you to stay
I won't lay down and shut my mouth so you can brag the next day
I won't be a trophy
I won't look the other way
So I guess you got your wish, 'cause babe, I promise
Things are gonna change
The things that brought you to me, now are the very things you hate
It's becoming very clear to me that you're the one whose changed
I used to think that we could make it last; I would love you all my life
But when you tell me I'm not good enough, you know it's just not right
I won't let you hurt me
I won't beg you to stay
I won't lay down and shut my mouth so you can brag the next day
I won't be a trophy
I won't look the other way
So I guess you got your wish, 'cause babe, I promise
*Spanish-speaking*
I won't let you hurt me
I won't beg you to stay
I won't lay down and shut my mouth so you can brag the next day
I won't be a trophy
I won't look the other way
So I guess you got your wish, 'cause babe, I promise
I won't let you hurt me
I won't beg you to stay
I won't lay down and shut my mouth so you can brag the next day
I won't be a trophy
I won't look the other way
I guess you got your wish, 'cause babe, I promise
People want to know what I believe in
They think I should take a stand
Stand up, speak out, tell us about
Jesus, sex, politics, the color of my lipstick (oh man)
I have tried to do the best I can
Living on the right side of the tracks
But shame on myself if I try to tell
Anybody else how to live (oh man, oh man)
All I know is
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love is all I know
When did love become old hat
Why must it be any more than that
''cause haven't we already enslaved, killed and maimed
(Verse 1)
Look at me.
Look into my eyes.
Tell me do you see
That I am always by your side?
Or has the world got you down
On your knees?
Come to me.
(Verse 2)
Look at you.
Look into your heart.
Tell me is there room for you
To make a brand new start?
Or has the world gotten to you
And made you dark?
Come to me.
(Chorus)
Cause' when you cry,
All your tears I will wipe away.
When you laugh,
Who do you think got you that way?
When you dream, babe,
And you wake up,
Is it me you wanna see?
(Musical interlude)
(Repeat Chorus)
(Verse 3)
Look at us.
Look around the world.
'Cause all you seem to find
Are unhappy boys - unhappy girls, babe.
Now tell me,
Is that what you want
For you and me?
Dont you want to be happy?
(Repeat chorus)
(Verse 4)
Look at me.
Look into my eyes.
Tell me do you see
That I am always by your side?
Or has the world got you down
On your knees?
You can come to me.
You know you can always
Tell her that she’s beautiful,
see her falling fast,
another round she drinks it down.
Say you want this night to last.
Her friends are going home,
she hears you’re wanting her to stay
She let’s them go, and now you know
this night is gonna go your way.
She says
“If it’s what you want, it’s what you’ll get
and I won’t fight it.
But hurry up and make it quick
before I cry.
You don’t have to lie, I know this game,
I have played.
In the morning you won’t remember my name.”
Her parents never home for long, She found other ways,
she’d make ‘em look, that’s all it took.
then she’d disappear for days.
Now she sees right through them,
they don’t really have to try.
She just can’t stop, he gets on top,
as she tries to believe his lies.
She says
“If it’s what you want, it’s what you’ll get
and I won’t fight it.
But hurry up and make it quick before I cry.
You don’t have to lie, I know this game.
I have played.
In the morning you won’t remember my name.”
they start to blend,
he said he’d call
she never hears from them again.
She can’t say no. She’s got this hole,
that she’s been filling up with them.
Why can’t I stop? Why won’t he stay?
I didn’t love him, anyway.
In the morning, you won’t remember my name.
This is the last time
I’m gonna write this down
I must admit I’ve gotten used to you
not being around
You were always better
In the pages of my letters
I don’t talk to God
the way that I used to
No hard feelings
He’s just got more important things to do
Then hear my broken records
And read it in the pages of my letters
You should know that I don’t blame you
For breaking it
And not following through
Somewhere I know it’s true
That to be with you
Could never measure
To the pages of my letters
Guess that hardest part
Of all of this for me
Is that I was the one
Who built you up to be
Completely better
In the pages of my letters
You should know that I don’t blame you
For breaking it
And not following through
Somewhere I know it’s true
That to be with you
Could never measure
To the pages of my letters
Think you’d want to know
When I didn’t know
Where to go
I would imagine what you’d say
Then I’d try to go along your way
I don’t blame you
For not following through
Somewhere I know it’s true
That to be with you
Could never measure
Ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh
Wasn’t it the pain
That brought us together
Wasn’t it the heartache
That brought me to you
Wasn’t it the look
That you saw in my eyes
That told you
I knew what you’d been through
Ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh
Wasn’t it the heat
That kept us warm at night
Wasn’t it the hunger
That made us want more
Wasn’t it the hurt
That made it easier
To forget the things
We both left behind
Cause I’ve been hidin’
All my life and
I’ve been tryin
To keep me safe but
I’ve been healin
I’ve been thinkin
I am ready
Finally for something more
Than this
Ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh
Wasn’t it the ache
That brought us here
Wasn’t it the fever
That kept us up all night
Didn’t it feel good
To only need each other
Wasn't it our way
To think that this was life
Cause I’ve been hidin’
All my life and
I’ve been tryin
To keep me safe but
I’ve been healin
I’ve been thinkin
I am ready
Finally for something more
Than this
What if it’s just me
I can’t keep it together
What if it’s too much
Too much for me to take
What if I want you
Just to walk away
From all the pain
We have both been through
Cause I’ve been hidin’
All my life and
I’ve been tryin
To keep me safe but
I’ve been healin
I’ve been thinkin
I am ready
Finally for something more
Than this
Ooh oh, ooh oh, ooh oh
Hey lover
I'm so lonely.
You ain't touched me for days.
Hey lover,
I'm so weary.
You won't be happy no matter what I say
'cuz I brought you kisses;
all of my finest,
all the best that I had to give
but you threw them a side
‘cuz you wanted better
and it makes me wonder if I’ve got what you want me to give.
Hey mother
I need you to tell me whatever should I do
to keep my lover
here beside me, oh.
I need you to guide me
Oh, what should I do
'cuz I've begged him
got on my knees
made me feel like
some kind of fool
but I’ll do
whatever he wants me
whatever he needs me to do.
Hey father
Don’t go crazy
‘cuz I’m not the baby
you think I am.
Put your gun down,
‘cuz you don’t need it.
You got to believe me
if you think that you can.
No, he don’t mean to
take me for granted,
he just needs to understand.
Maybe he can find another lady,
but I’ll be damned if I can find myself another man.
Hey lover
So tired
‘cuz I’ve been workin’ to please you.
Hey lover
What’s your goddamn problem
that keeps you up cryin’ this whole night through?
Is the life that
I try to give you
is it less than you could give yourself.
Do I, do I mean less than your last lover?
Well maybe you should just go back to them.
No lover
No lover
I didn’t mean it, no
Somebody tell her that she can't carry it all
It's getting hard to pretend we're not watching her fall
Why does she always give more than she's got
She think the world's gonna stop but it's not
She's letting everything in
trouble is that it's gotta come out
Emily, leave it with me
under the stairs in a box
'til your safe an' sound, Emily
Somebody tell her she's just fooling herself
She thinks she's just fighting the shadow of somebody else
Doesn't she notice how much she's lost
It's like she's nailing herself to a cross
Listen to me this is crazy
it's all got to stop
Emily, leave it with me
under the stairs in a box
'til your safe an' sound, Emily
Burning bright you are
like a falling star
Emily, leave it with me
under the stairs in a box
There you are again
I see you all the time
We haven’t really met yet,
But you know, I don’t mind
’Cuz I think today’s the day
I’m gonna go right up and say to you
Would it be alright
If I called you up sometime?
There you go again
I let you get away
At least I’ve got more time
To think of what I might say (like)
“Couldn’t we be good” (or maybe)
“Don’t you think that we should find
Some quiet little place where we’d make love all day?”
Come and talk to me
What are you waiting for
’Cuz I can see you passing every day and I’m always wanting more
Come and talk to me
What are you gonna do
’Cuz I can’t seem to get the nerve to get off my own ass
And come and talk to you
You know I love the type
You look like you’ve been up all night
And yet somehow still look beautiful
You do it all at the same time
Whenever you walk by
You always look me in the eyes
And in that moment I know
the same thing’s on your mind
It always seems to be that I let the good things pass by
Just let ourselves get together right now.
Ball and Chain!
Yeah, I heard that, man. How are you, how, I mean, er, how are you out there? Are you are you
OK? You know that you stand stoned and you got enough water, got a place to sleep and
everything. What does that mean? Huh? Because, you know, because all of us, you know, I don't
mean to be preachy but we ought to remember that in that case it means promoters, too, that music's
for grooving, man, that music's not for putting yourself in bad changes. You know, I mean you
don't have to go take anybody's shit, man, just to like music, you know what I mean? You don't. So
er, so if you're getting more shit than you deserve, you know what to do about it, man. You know,
it's just music. Music's... music's supposed to be different than that.
Hey, come on, come on, come on, come on!
Didn't I make you feel, oh honey, like you were the only man I ever wanted, that I ever needed?
Oh ho, honey, didn't I give you nearly everything that I ever had to give?
Oh, you know I did!
But each time I tell myself that I, I think I've had enough,
Well, I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.
I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Have a, have another little piece of my heart now, daddy daddy daddy,
You know you got it if it makes you feel good,
Yes indeed, whoaa.
You're out on the streets, you're looking good,
Honey, deep down inside I know you know it ain't never been right,
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never hear me cry at night, oh!
Each time I tell myself that I can't stand the pain,
But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once again.
Say come on, come on, yeah, come on, come on and take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby.
Break another little piece of my heart, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Have another little piece of my heart, baby, baby, baby,
You know you got it, if it makes you feel good.
I want you to feel good now, yeah!
Say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Break another little piece of my heart, darling, yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Have a, have another little piece of my heart, baby, baby, baby.
You know you got it alright!
Say! Whoaa, have another little piece of my heart now, daddy,
Break it, break it, break it, I want you to want it, take out the inside of me,
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, baby, baby.
You know you got it, if it makes you
I want you to feel good, Lord, alright!
I know it ain’t easy,
I know it ain’t easy,
I know it ain’t easy lovin’ me.
I know it ain’t easy
When it comes to lovin’ me.
Pushed you away too many times, I did,
It’s a wonder you didn’t leave, oh.
I know it ain’t easy
I know it ain’t easy
I know it ain’t easy lovin’ me.
I know it ain’t easy,
Can’t be easy,
I know it ain’t easy lovin’ me.
My mother told me, “Girl,
You’re gonna lose him,
And a good man’s hard to find.
Lately you’ve been living like
Some kind of feline.
Now you’re down to life number nine.”
I know it ain’t easy,
I know it ain’t easy,
I know it ain’t easy lovin’ me, oh.
I know it ain’t easy,
Can’t be easy,
I know it ain’t easy lovin’ me.
You know, you know you don’t have to tell me.
I can see the writing on the wall.
Well, well, well, well, well, well,
Sometimes you know
You gotta go to the mountain top
Just to see how far you might go.
It ain’t easy…
I know it ain’t easy
I know it ain’t easy
I know it ain’t easy lovin’ me.
I know it ain’t easy,
Can’t be easy,
I know it ain’t easy lovin’ me.
I know it ain’t easy,
Can’t be easy,
Standing here outside your door
Not sure if you're home
Wondering if I'm a fool
Maybe I should go
Usually I'm fearless
But I've become undone
A clown without even a disguise
Now everyone will know that I've
Fallen fallen I've fallen in love
And I can't make sense of it
Don't know how this happened
I can't say for sure
But suddenly I'm incomplete
Sustaining on the hope
If you should see me face to face
If you could hear my heart
You might feel this terrifying something rising up and you've
Fallen fallen you've fallen in love
Maybe no one told you there is strength in your tears
And so you fight to keep from pouring out
But what if you unlock the gate that keeps your secret soul
Do you think there's enough that you would drown?
If no one will listen
If you decide to speak
If no one's left standing after the bombs explode
If no one wants to look at you
For what you really are
I will be here still
No one can tell you where you alone must go
There's no telling what you will find there
And, God, I know the fear that eats away at your bones
It's screaming every step, Just stay here
If no one will listen
If you decide to speak
If no one's left standing after the bombs explode
If no one wants to look at you
For what you really are
I will be here still
If you find your fists are raw and red from beating yourself down
If your legs have given out under the weight
If you find you've been settling for a world of gray
So you wouldn't have to face down your own hate
If no one will listen
If you decide to speak
If no one's left standing after the bombs explode
If no one wants to look at you
For what you really are
I will be here still
If no one will listen
If you decide to speak
If no one's left standing after the bombs explode
If no one wants to look at you
For what you really are
I will be here still
After I promise to love you forever
What happens to us if I fail?
I fear that my heart is a wavering thing and
I'm scared that your heart is frail
Do I give up and just let go
Or remain, I don't know
What does this say about me
I want to believe that a love is everlasting
Something that happens still
(but) what if I can't sustain it forever but I
Give you my word that I will
Do I give up and just let go
Or remain, I don't know
What does this say about me
(what if I) give you my vow that I'll love you forever
And then wish that I could be free
These are the things that I don't know is it just me
I didn't know if I would ever feel the same
The way I used to feel before you'd gone
I didn't know if the ache would ever go away
I only knew I had to go on
I know I should've noticed it was coming
But I just wanted to pretend I was blind
I don't know if you ever really loved me
Or maybe you were just passing time
Well I guess you'll never know
But I've finally let you go
And the rain may be falling on my window
But I feel like I'm coming alive
Yesterday I was trying so hard not to cry
But today I feel fine
Let it rain.
I know you always thought I'd stay waiting
Just in case you wanted to come back
But you never thought I'd start healing
Or maybe I just would not want you back
Well I guess you'll never know
But I've finally let you go
And the rain may be falling on my window
But I feel like I'm coming alive
Yesterday I was trying so hard not to cry
But today I feel fine
And I'm not losing my mind
So today I feel fine
Let it rain.
Bartender another
And make it a double
I can't go home
I'm in some kind of trouble
What started so innocently
Turned to sin
And I can't get out
I am too deep in
Have you ever had everything you'd ever wanted
A good life, good friends and a loving companion
Well take a hard look and pay real close attention
I threw it all away with reckless abandon
On a pair of caramel eyes
I found out how quickly I'd learned to lie
Don't judge me til you've walked a mile in my shoes
Things aren't always as they seem
Cause being with him was like falling asleep
Going home was like waking from some kind of dream
The kind that you hope never ends
But real life is not something I can suspend
Bartender another
And make it a double
I can't go home
I'm in some kind of trouble
What started so innocently
Turned to sin
And I can't get out
I am too deep
Too deep
Too deep
You are the answered prayer
That I thought was never heard
But here you are in front of me
And I admit, I'm finding it hard to breathe and I believe
In answered prayer
I put away what I thought was youthful faith
But someone must have heard my silent cry
For here you are before my eyes
Now you know, you are the reason why I believe
In answered prayer
Some may try to convince me
That this is what everyone else feels
But I know that
God and I are the only ones
Who ever heard my appeal
(That's why)
You are the answered prayer
That I thought was never heard
But here you are in front of me
And I admit
I'm finding it hard to breathe
And I believe
In answered prayer
