I walk this mile
Like anyone
What could be found
In this sweet damaged smile

We are lost, we are found
We are thrown together

Would you take my hand
Would you take my hand

Let's go

I walk this mile
Like anyone
What could be found
In this sweet damaged smile

The cage is found
Fool's gold inside
Is there a key to the
Bars of the mind

We are lost, we are found
We are thrown together

Would you take my hand

You look for love
You just get skin
You turn around
And the changes begin

We are lost, we are found
We are thrown together

Would you take my hand

Takes a second for your world to change
Satisfaction's what you give away
Sucks you in and spits you out again
Picks you up and drives you down again

Takes a second for your world to change
Sucks you in and spits you out again
Throws you down and picks you up again
Satisfaction's what you give away

We are lost, we are found
We are thrown together

Would you take my hand
Would you take my hand
Would you take my hand

INXS was originally formed in 1977 in Sydney, Australia as the Farriss Brothers. The lineup included the three Farris brothers: Andrew

(songwriter/keyboards); Tim (guitar); and Jon (drums), along with Michael Hutchence (lead vocals/songwriter); Kirk Pengilly (guitar/saxophone) and Garry Gary Beers (bass). They began gaining popularity playing in pubs before moving on to support other local Australian bands, including Midnight Oil.

In 1979, they changed their name to INXS and released their first single “Simple Simon” in 1980. They went on to release their debut self-titled album INXS in 1980, closely followed by their second album, Underneath the Colours, in 1981. Neither album gained much attention outside of Australia, however, in July of 1982 INXS released their single “The One Thing” ahead of their next studio album. The song began to climb the U.S. and international charts, thanks in part to music video’s heavy rotation on MTV.
