Full moon in the dirty sky
That's all we can hope for

Full moon over dirty hearts
Full moon over dirty hearts

Don't be surprised by the way it is
I've broken bones for less
I took a voyage on the deep blue sea
But I had to swim away
I swam away that day

Full moon over dirty hearts
Full moon over dirty hearts

I took a voyage over deep blue sea
It won?t come back...

Innocence is what we want
Now even children think that way

Full moon over dirty hearts
Full moon in the dirty sky
Full moon over dirty hearts
Full moon over dirty hearts

I took a voyage over deep blue sea
I took a voyage over deep blue sea

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.
