Got to make a sense yeah
Everything affects ya
Your turning up the pressure
But can you keep it on?

Well it's only time
It's only time that makes you
Well it's only time
It's only time that breaks you

Yeah, there gonna make ya
Pay for the crime
Put you up in cages
Treat you unkind

Well it's only time
It's only time that makes you
Well it's only time
It's only time that breaks you

Well it's only
It's only time
It's only time

All your plans are made now
Just like they told you
So what becomes of Monday
Now that Sundays' gone

All you ever wanted
Will come to you one day
Just when you taste it
You turn and walk away

Well it's only time
It's only time that makes you
Well it's only time
It's only time that breaks you

Well it's only time
It's only time that makes you
Well it's only time
It's only time that breaks you

Time
It's only time

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.
