INXS

Don't ask me, what you know is true
Don't have to tell you I love your precious heart

I, I was standing, you were there
Two worlds collided and they could never tear us apart

We could live for a thousand years
But if I hurt you, I'd make wine from your tears
I told you that we could fly
'Cause we all have wings, but some of us don't know why

I, I was standing, you were there
Two worlds collided and they could never ever tear us apart

(Saxophone solo)
I (don't ask me), I was standing (you know it's true)
You were there (worlds collided), two worlds collided (shining through)
And they could never tear us apart
You (don't ask me), you were standing (you know it's true)
I was there (worlds collided), two worlds collided (shining through)
And they could never tear us apart
I (don't ask me), I was standing

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.
