God Bless Texas - Paul Heaton

[kincaide67]

I have to say....I am a Texan - born and raised ... and even I am Embarrassed. Thank you's to a long line of folks for making me feel this way...the most recent being George 1 and George 2 and good'ole Ricky P. And I might throw in Jimmy Jones for coming in and tarnishing a great sport...which I really no longer watch!

[cochranexyz]

Fuck Texas. It's amazing the knuckle dragging inbreds down there understand this is a fucking insult. I'll give the fuckheads that much. But that's all.

[allancabbie]

paul heaton is a legend.

[MrJimsawyer]

This guy doesnt know anything, theres 14 states with higher obesity rates than texas. alabama arkansas missouri mississippi michigan louisiana kentucky indiana ohio south carolina south dakota tennessee west virginia wisconsin, they all have higher obesity rates. if your gonna right a song about something like this, research first.

[beautifulnorth1]

@Codyrbryant I wouldnt brag about that!! You seem to think its ok there are 14 worse states!! Dont blame the rest of the world because America is everything that's wrong with the world. You actually wonder why people bomb you dont you? You really dont understand? Wow!

[ejaimes1973]

whoever made this video is a prejudice an asshole .and quite arrogant.I'm from Texas and this video gives it a bad name..What a shame because the song is alright.. Your perception is perverting the meaning of The republic of Texas..

[hancar]

@ejaimes1973

It's not your fault that the rest of the world is laughing at your state and the US in general! I assume you're a good, decent person so don't take it personally, but this is how the rest of the world views your home country!

[beautifulnorth1]

@ejaimes1973 Texas gives Texas a bad name. Have a sense of humour.

Paul Heaton is such a wally. He can only sing this song with a very large pond inbetween. Come on over on to Texas soil and croon this little diddy Paul. There are many derogatory things I could say about the little island you call home, but I choose to rise above such childish things. You should really reunite with Beautiful South, because on your own you are just crap. Pip Pip and Cheerio old chap!

[smilepogo2]

@09Epic

Paul Heaton's solo stuff is brilliant. Long live Paul and The Housemartins!

[TheHughLundy]

@09Epic Paul Heaton is a genius. it's about time someone told the Ameicans what ALL right thinking people think about them.Just stop thinking you are above everybody else and can tell eveyone what to do. Lose some weight as an nation.Oh yeah two more ideas try to produce a writer from Paul Heaton's ability and listen to Nick Lowe's American Squirm(Ha he knows about American's too)

[fodsaks]

I'm moving from the U.K. to Texas in the new year.

Can't Wait!

[Daukk]

He has obviously never lived in Texas.

[middaymoses]

I assume he is anti the media perception of texas that we are fed in the UK ,Heaton was the one that got me listening to lyrics instead of guitar solo's. A genius.

[frostyreynolds]

0:52 IS AWESOME!

[txpanzer]

Most of this stupid Texas haters don't really know much about Texas. They are just jealous that the place where they come from, doesn't have the history, the character and the pride that you can find from Texans about Texas. The Texan individuality irritates lots of people just because they know is something they will never have where they come from.

[ThePreston1234]

heaton is to true wot he is singing you bunch ov hillbillys calm down

[dougwoods01]

One of my favourites, piss taking at its best.

[Girobabies]

Great song and video

[asthmo]

it's awesome, one of the best poets in the world.

[caseybmyers]

What a dumb ass song from someone that doesn't know Texas.

[tartanboy30s]

i am from coventry england now living about 40km from the us border here in canada and i am always popping into the usa as i cant get enough of it. i have been all over the world and texas is the place i love most. as for bush he was not scared to stand up for the west against terrorists and doesnt care he will be hated by so many for the rest of his life so maximum respect to him. the issue is the muslim world will never like the west for millions of reasons, homosexuality, womens rights etc

[Lcord73]

Does anyone know where I can get the lyrics to this song?

[hullbutcher]

yes

[canuckleheadlimey]

I agree! Full of generalisations about Texans. When in fact the title should read "God Bless the God damn US of A. :-)

[TheLDW]

I found this song to be horrible. Full of generalizations and things that are blatantly untrue. . . This kind of thinking is unfair and dangerous.

[dannym2005]

hes taking the piss! You are proving his point!

[andrewtolley]

@TheLDW

Imagine how the people living in the middle east feel..the ones without an axe to grind?

[cafcadet]

not all are lazy

[cafcadet]

not all texans are lazy lol i am but not all are

[micktilton]

Brilliant

[danieldanone2]

Das ist der Oberhammer! Paul wird immer besser!

[richcary]

I love the drummer. paul is always good but the drummer is very tight.

[biglicker]

Viva Le Grafton !

[poshladdie]

Awesome job white fella.........

[Zerlina01]

I love this song and this video! You're absolutley right!

[jeffronius]

This song is awesome! Don't like the video much.

[WWIISpy]

Great vid, good music***

[Heatonsangel]

wow....love this song. and paul sings like an angel. lol

[commonergirl]

I'd say I feel perverse listening to the song due to my location, but Paul's too honest to deny loving respect for a well crafted song. :D

Can't wait for his new album now.

[billybeadie]

brill once again dj keep it up

[ray241]

great fresh sound from heaton, full of energy and full of stir it up lyrics.

old red eyes is back.

[MacMonkey77]

Brilliant. I don't know how you managed to get hold of what sounds like a studio version of the song but i will wager my nuts that when Paul or his new record company find out it's on here it will be removed quickly...Get it while you can peeps, top song, gonna be a top album. Love It.

[ajbonmg]

Not likely to be removed by Paul - he's put it on his own myspace site!

[MacMonkey77]

Have just seen this, lets hope it is a bit of self promotion and that this means the album won't be too much longer in hitting the shops.

[Mikebobuk]

What a fantastic song, loved it when he did it live and was a bit worried it would be over-produced whne recorded. Not at all - the man Heaton's a legend for sure.
