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.

The Day Before I Went Away Lyrics

Texas

I tried to tell you that on monday
The day before I went away
I was always there when you were coming down
I had to take some time
Take some time
You know Im needing you for so much pleasure
Im always wanting you to take me there
I need to be the one to tell you that youre on the right road
And how some time alone is only fair
You know Im renowned
And feel its a lonely time Ive had
But it never felt that bad
I tried to tell you that on monday
The day before I went away
I was always there when you were coming down
You never took the time
Took the time
I wish youd known me when I was much younger
As I closed my eyes upon the world
But now an open mind which seems much stronger
A perfect doubting of your every word
You know Im renowned
And feel its a lonely time Ive had
But it never felt that bad
I tried to tell you that on monday
The day before I went away
I was always there when you were coming down
You never took the time
Took the time
Cmon cmon
Cmon cmon
Cmon cmon
Cmon cmon
You know Im renowned
For the lonely time Ive had
But it never felt that bad
I tried to tell you that on monday
The day before I went away
I was always there when you were coming down
You never took the time
Took the time
I tried to tell you that on monday
The day before I went away
I was always there when you were coming down
You never took the time
Took the time
Never took the time
Never took the time
Never took the time
To stop me
I always wanted you to stop me
You never took the time
