INXS

Songwriter: Andrew Farriss

Producer: Chris Thomas

I will believe you
If you say it's true
Girl, you know I need you
More than any word spoken
I've seen you before
Turn and walk away
You say you won't come back
It's just a game anyway

We are hoping
Yes, and we're praying

CHORUS
This time will be the last time
That we will fight like this
This time will be the last time
That we will fight like this

We are always wanting
The things we cannot find
You know that we are
Always wasting time

We are hoping
Yes, and we're praying

CHORUS

You know I can forget
We have fought before
I've seen inside your heart
And I know it's breaking

We are hoping
Yeah, and we're praying

CHORUS

This time will be the last 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.
