My strange desire
Is waiting here
To be my light
My shadow my storm
This is all and
This is you
Turning into
Another dream
Please don't be
Another dream

Do you really think you're cared for
Do we really know we're loved
Look at all my resolutions
Promises to break your heart
Why do we make it hot to handle
Why do we lose our self control
Strange desire take me over
Offer me to the all above

This is all and this is you

Do you really think you're cared for
Do we really know we're loved
Look at all my resolutions
Promises to break your heart
Why do we make it hot to handle
Why do we lose our self control
Strange desire take me over
Offer me to the all above

Meet again touch again
Must have wanted
Some paradise
Long ago
That's unwise so unwise
Look again I said
Touch again
Believe your fate
That's alright that's alright

Do you really think you're cared for
Do we really know we're loved
Look at all my resolutions
Promises to break your heart
Why do we make it hot to handle
Why do we lose our self control
Strange desire take me over
Offer me to the all above

Do you really think you're cared for
Do we really know we're loved
Look at all my resolutions
Promises to break your heart
Why do we make it hot to handle
Why do we lose our self control
Strange desire take me over
Offer me to the all above

Do you really think you're cared for
Do we really know we're loved
Look at all my resolutions
Promises to break your heart
Why do we make it hot to handle
Why do we lose our self control
Strange desire take me over
Offer me to the all above

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.
