If you ever want to taste it
Go down to the wishing well
Poison in the well won't make it
Keep yourself as strong as can be

All men I'll take you
Take you down and tell you why
I said woman gonna take you
Take you down a well that's wide

If you ever want to taste it
Go down to the wishing well
Poison in the well won't make it
Keep yourself as strong as can be

Take it to the river
Take it to the world
I say loving heart

Gonna show the way
Gonna show the way
Gonna show the way
Gonna show the way
Gonna show the way

If you ever want to taste it
Go down to the wishing well
Poison in the well won't make it
Keep yourself as strong as can be

All men
Watch ya seeing
Living it all for the life
Say all men what ya seeing
Gonna change your ways
Gonna change your ways
Gonna change your mind

If you ever want to taste it
Go down to the wishing well
Poison in the well won't make it
Keep yourself
As strong as can be

If you ever gonna taste it
Never look right or left look ahead
I'm the healer
You're believing

Gonna carry ya to the end
Gonna carry ya to the end

If you ever want to taste it
Go down to the wishing well
Poison in the well
Won't make it
Gotta keep yourself
As strong as can be

I'm a healer
I'm a healer

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.
