INXS

Songwriter: Michael Hutchence Andrew Farriss

Producer: Mark Opitz

Here comes the rationalization
Here comes the song I know
There's a change of weather coming
There's a change in me and you

I found some questions
To the answers
The dancing flames
Of romances

Freedom is intoxicating
It's a lizard in your hand
Don't you worry about the future
I need some in my plan

I found some questions
To the answers
'Bout the dancing flames
Of romance's

Here come my kamakazee
Here comes god's top ten
Nothing to be done to stop it
Nothing to get in it's way

I found some questions
Too the answers
The dancing flames
Of romance's

Flame of romance's
Found some questions

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.
