INXS

Producer: Mark Opitz INXS

So your time has come
Children watch the fools
Don't let anyone tell you
What you must do

Do you like what you see
Or does it make you cry
Use your imagination
And start a fire

Hear that sound
There's a voice to be found
Making changes go round
Hear that sound

And my selfish ways
Disappeared one day
With the realization
Of a new way

Images of the free
Coming into view
Our hearts full of promises
Of all we can do

Hear that sound
There's a voice to be found
Making changes go round
Hear that sound

So your time has come
Children watch the fools
Don't let anyone tell you
What you must do

Do you like what you see
Or does it make you cry
Use your imagination
And start a fire

Hear that sound
There's a voice to be found
Making changes go round
Hear that sound

Hear that sound
There's a voice to be found
Making changes go round
Hear that sound

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.
