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.

You know I cant tell the truth
Cause all I do is lie
I feel like Im laughing all the time
But all I do is cry
I wanna go to heaven
Yeh I wanna go to heaven
But I dont wanna die
I gave you it all child
But I i paid for that
You walked away from me
Yeh you turned your back
I wanna go to heaven
Yeh I wanna go to heaven
But I dont wanna die
Ill take what you can give me
Ill use all I can use
Yeh Im sleeping with my worries now
Ive nothin else to lose
Yeh I wanna go to heaven
Lord I wanna go to heaven
But I dont wanna die
