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.

So Called Friend Lyrics

Texas

Yeh Im gonna make you wonder if youre my friend
Yeh Im gonna make you wonder if youre my friend
Yeh thats the way I choose them all my friends
Do you think youre close with all your promises
Do you think I act strange when you talk to me
Its cause I dont see you
Yeh Im gonna make you wonder if youre my friend
Yeh I may as well tell you youll never be my friend
Aah thats the way I choose them all my friends
The telephone always rings when youve got success
You only want us when were at our best
But we dont hear you
Yeh Im gonna make you wonder if youre my friend
It isnt our fault that your lifes depressed
Weve listened and weve learned
That all of the words that you say
Yeh all of the words that you say
Mean nothing
Yeh Im gonna make you wonder if youre my friend
