Show me the way
Give away
The truth
I'm looking for

I need a new way
Out of here
The door
Is opening

Freedom take me deeper
Freedom take me deeper

All the blue days
Gone astray
The clouds
Are giving in

Freedom take me deeper
Freedom take me deeper

I need a new way
Out of here
The door is opening

I'm losing my fear
Suddenly
The way
Has come to me

Freedom take me deeper [till fade]
Freedom

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.
