Kiss the Dirt (Falling Down the Mountain)INXS

Songwriter: Michael Hutchence Andrew Farriss

Producer: Chris Thomas

Playing in the dirt
We find the seeds of doubt
Don't water them with your tears
Don't think about all the years you'd rather be without

Eden lets me in
I find the seeds of love
And climb upon the highwire
I kiss and tell all my fears

Falling down the mountain
End up kissing dirt
Look a little closer
Sometimes it wouldn't hurt

Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do, playing in the dirt
We find the seeds of fun
Do-do-do-do, and we scream like alleycats
Do-do-do-do, tearing down what we attack
To prove that we are one

Cutting through the night
We find the seeds of lust
And lose our minds on one intent
These passions never seem to end

Falling down the mountain
End up kissing dirt
Look a little closer
Sometimes it wouldn't hurt

You know it wouldn't hurt
Hey

Falling down the mountain
End up kissing dirt
Look a little closer
Sometimes it wouldn't hurt

I said get up, get up, get up
Get up to the top, yeah
I'm falling down the mountain
End up kissing dirt, yeah
I'm falling, falling
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Cutting through the night
We find the seeds of lust
And lose our minds on one intent
These passions never seem to end

Falling down the mountain
End up kissing dirt
Look a little closer
Sometimes it wouldn't hurt

INXS

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.
