It's the swing
It's the swing like a pendulum
It marks the moments as the years go by on an innocent face
The swing, into never never land

There was a darkness like an old friend
That scratched and crawled up the wall
Into my life
Into my destiny
Into my desire

It's the swing
It's the swing like a pendulum
So look behind you when the race has run
And the winner is made

The swing into never never land
There was a darkness like an old friend
That scratched and crawled up the wall
Into my life

Well it's the swing
The swing like a pendulum
Between the kisses and between the lines
There is nothing to hide

The swing into never never land
There was a darkness like an old friend
That scratched and crawled up the wall
Into my life
Into my destiny
Into my desire

Yeah, the swing
It's the swing like a pendulum

It's the swing
It's the swing like a pendulum

It's the swing

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.
