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.

Hear Me Now Lyrics

Texas

Where were you when the lights went out
I ask you this in your defence
You fell for a river when all you wanted
Was a drink
To me that never made much sense
Hear me now
With every word I breath
Believe in me if you can
Hear me now
Like a long lost friend
Believe in me if you can
I live my life to the full each day
Cause Im scared of not being alive
And all that Im wanting is the same for you
Dont wanna tell you any lies
To all those people that Ive never known
You know I could do untold harm
So find me a witness
Who can justify a reason
Let them come and raise their hand
Hear me now
With every word I breath
Believe in me if you can
Hear me now
Like a long lost friend
Believe in me if you can
