INXS

Songwriter: Hughie Murray

Producer: Guy Chambers

Sex is sex and love is love, mix 'em both up, baby, that's the stuff
I can't believe I'm seeing the world come tumbling, crumbling down
Yeah, this love the world's receiving, more chance of it on shutting down
Shutting down, yeah, yeah

Like it or not, love is the God
Love is the, love is the God
Like it or not, love is the God
Love is the God

So put your guns down on the ground, yeah, peace, it makes such a pretty sound
I can't believe I'm seeing the world come tumbling, crumbling down
You won't believe the feeling when it's all coming back around
Coming 'round, yeah, yeah

Love is the God, yeah, like it or not
Love is the, love is the, yeah, love is my God
Like it or not, love is God

Love is my God, yeah, yeah, like it not
Love is the, love is the, yeah, like it or not
Love is the, yeah, like it or not
Love is the, love is the, yeah
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Yeah, love is the God
Love is the, oh, like it or not
Love is the, love is the, yeah
Love is the God

Love is God

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.
