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.

Getaway Lyrics

Texas

Just stop you know you cant deny
Just stop you know there's no reply
I've had it all don't say that
Just stop and tell me its good bye
Don't you understand
What I'm saying
We never gave ourselves the chance
* You know I've got to get away
Run, leave you behind
The world goes slowly
So sad to leave this time
The ring you were holding
Has hit the floor
And I cant live in this house with you no more
This time I know you'll hesitate
Deep down you hope its not too late
You said it all except good bye
I think its time that you should try
Don't you understand
What I'm saying
We never gave ourselves the chance
[Repeat *]
Because I know
I still loved you
And I cant stay another day
Get away
You know I've got to get away
Get away
You know I've got to get away
[Repeat *]
