Ever stop to wonder
Should I question
Move a stone look under
Should I judge

How you have changed my friend
You're not the same my friend
Do you lose sleep at night
Do you ever stop to think
Where it went wrong for you
Who turned your reds to blue

Who put those tiny daggers in your heart
Who put those tiny daggers in your heart
Who put those tiny daggers in your heart

Ever stop to wonder
I should not question
Move a stone look under
I should not judge

They say you're never lonely
They say you're with the best
But when they turn those lights out
I bet you spin and turn
And cry just like the rest
And cry just like a baby

Ever stop to wonder
I should not question
Move a stone look under
I should not judge

No need for desperation
No need for sweet revenge
Please try to remember
The door is always there
Don't you walk on by
The door is always there

All you want to do is kick it in
All you got to do is walk right in

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.
