Hey, here is the story
Forget about troubles in life
Don't you know, it's not easy
When you gotta walk upon that line

That's why
You need
Ooooh that's why
This is what you need, I'll give you what you need

Wo-oo-oh-oh-eah, don't you get sad and lonely
You need a change from what you do all day
Ain't no sense in all your crying
Just pick it up and throw it into shape, ooh yeah

That's why
You need
Ooooh that's why
This is what you need, I'll give you what you need

This is what you need
I'll give you what you need
This is what you need
I'll give you what you need
I'll give you what you need

Hey you, won't you listen
This is not the end of it all
Don't you see there is a rhythm
I'll take you where you really need to be, woh-oh

Woh-oh-oh, what you need, what you need
I'll give it all, I'll give it all
I'll take you, I'll take you
Where you want to be
That's right

INXS

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.
