INXS

I

Want to want to sail a boat across the sea
Four winds four winds in the sails and in me

See

All the all the time I wasted from you
Got to got to get so closer to you

The

Navigation of desire in my heart
Leads me leads me, cross the oceans so far

Horizons

Ahead ahead I can see your face now
So long so long I must say goodbye now

Of your love

Looking looking for the buried treasure
Dig down dig down and find that buried

Love

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.
