Texas are Scottish band fronted by singer Sharleen Spiteri. The band was founded by Johnny McElhone taking their name from the 1984 Wim Wenders movie Paris, Texas. Their musical sound went from blues rock from debut album Southside (1989), via blue eyed soul of White on Blonde (1997) to the disco pop of their most recent release Red Book (2005). Sharleen Spiteri (vocals, guitar), Ally McErlaine (guitar), Johnny McElhone (bass) have survived all line ups. In 1994, Ellen DeGeneres requested the use of the Texas track "So Called Friend" as the theme tune for her self-titled ABC Comedy Show.

Fade Away Lyrics

Texas

With every little smile do you know me better
You know Im never what I seem
Cause I dont worry about the future
My days they pass just like a dream
Are you scared of what youre seeing
Does it make me seem so cruel
And now Ill ask you if I hurt you
Thats just something that I do
If you dont listen to me
Youll stay the same
And youre just gonna fade away
Listen hear the secret in my voice
Are you so gone that you cant hear
Scared Ive forgot you for no reason
Maybe thats what you cant bear
Then give me more than words and gestures
Give me something I can keep
Thats how you get to love forever
Thats why youve gotta try and see
If you dont listen to me
Youll stay the same
If you dont listen to me
Youll stay the same
If you dont listen to me
Youll stay the same
And youll fade away
