INXS

Mmm
Yeah, yeah
Hey!
Shake, shake, shake it
There's a monkey on my back
Been there much too long
Every time I kick it off
Another one comes along
Used to be in another world
I used to be alone
It's so hard to be yourself
When you feel like something's wrong
There are no words that could explain
The strongest love in vain
There are no words that could explain
The strongest love in vain
Move it
Move on
There's a question in my head
Been there all night long
Well, I toss and turn inside my head
But I won't let it tear me down
Used to be in another world
I used to be alone
There are no words that could explain
The strongest love in vain
(Oh, you gotta move on)
There are no words that could explain
The strongest love in vain
There are no words that could explain
The strongest love in vain
Had enough, oh
Gotta move on, yeah
There are no words that could explain
The strongest love in vain
There are no words that could explain
The strongest love in vain
There are no words that could explain
The strongest love in vain
There are no words that could explain
The strongest love in vain

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.
