Bitter TearsINXS

Songwriter: Michael Hutchence Andrew Farriss

Producer: Chris Thomas

In the mist
Of my endless search
The best in life
Becomes clear

The rest just begins
To fade by itself
That's a trick I learnt
Though it took so long

Bitter tears taste so sweet
I'm seeing my way
For the first time in years
When the love around
Begins to suffer
And you can't find love
In one
In one another
Push away those bitter tears
Bitter tears

And I thought I was doing no wrong
No wrong
And I thought I was doing no wrong
No wrong

In the hour
Of your needs
Lips are trembling
'Cause your gonna be free
Realize what we're doing here
The time is right to kill your fears

Bitter tears taste so sweet
I'm seeing my way
For the first time in years
When the love around
Begins to suffer
And you can't find love
In one
In one another
Push away those bitter tears
Bitter tears

And I thought I was doing no wrong, wrong, yeah
Hey!
Push away those bitter tears
Push away those bitter tears
Push away those bitter tears
Push away those bitter tears, yeahow!

That's what they call doing no wrong
That's what they call doing no wrong

Push away those bitter tears, yeah
Push away those bitter tears
(Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh)
Push away, push away those bitter tears
Uhhhh huh, yeah, hey
That's what they call doing no wrong

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.
