Best Westerns: Texas - Summer Sun


Texas was formed in Glasgow, Scotland in 1986 by Johnny McElhone, a veteran of the Scottish rock circuit who had been a part of two groups, Hipsway and Altered Images. Texas is comprised of McElhone, bass, Eddie Campbell, keyboards, Ally McErlaine, guitar, Richard Hynd, drums and Sharleen Spiteri, vocals and guitar. The group made their performing debut as a band in March, 1988 at a local college in Glasgow. Texas took their name from the 1985 Wim Wenders film, Paris, Texas, for which Ry Cooder composed the soundtrack.
Their third album, Rick's Road, (1993) solidified the band's U.S. following, though their debut album was Southside, a 1989 release. The material on Rick's Road includes a cover of Al Green's "Tired of Being Alone,'' which landed in the U.K.'s Top 20 and restored a great deal of the band's credibility in their homeland.
In 1999, Texas released Hush, whose first single, "In Our Lifetime," became a hit on American alternative radio. Hynd later left the group.






Lyrics:

Im tired of telling the story
Tired of telling it your way
Yeh I know what I saw
I know that I found the floor

Before you take my heart, reconsider
Before you take my heart, reconsider
Ive opened the door
Ive opened the door

Here comes the summers son
He burns my skin
I ache again
Im over you

I thought I had a dream to hold
Maybe that has gone
Your hands reach out and touch me still
But this feels so wrong

Before you take my heart, reconsider
Before you take my heart, reconsider
Ive opened the door
Ive opened the door

Here comes the summers son
He burns my skin
I ache again
Im over you

Before you take my heart, reconsider
Before you take my heart, reconsider
Ive opened the door
Ive opened the door

Here comes the summers son
He burns my skin
I ache again
Im over you

Here comes the winters rain
To cleanse my skin
I wake again
Im over you

Here comes the summers son
He burns my skin
I ache again
Im over you

Here comes the winters rain
To cleanse my skin
I wake again
Im over you

Im over you
