Calling, calling, calling, calling
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Calling all girls

There's a red, red sun
And I'm thinking of you
I tell it a story
As it sinks out of view

CHORUS
One sun apart
One heart within
Red sun shines on, sees no tomorrow
Sees no tomorrow
Sees no tomorrow

There's a girl far away
And she's calling my name
With a tower of love
And a shadow of pain

CHORUS
One sun apart
One heart within
Red sun shines on, sees no tomorrow
Sees no tomorrow
Sees no tomorrow

Huh, yeah
Yeah

There's a red, red sun
And it's coming for you
To waken your heart
Like you know I always will do

CHORUS
One sun apart
One heart within
Red sun shines on, sees no tomorrow
Sees no tomorrow
Sees no tomorrow

CHORUS
One sun apart
One heart within
Red sun shines on, sees no tomorrow
Sees no tomorrow
Sees no tomorrow
Sees no tomorrow
Sees no tomorrow

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.
