Judas kiss
Kiss of betrayal
I will not let it break me
Elation
You come my way come my way
Oh baby oh baby
I will not let it break me

Here you come
My heart breaking
I'm in love
For you and more

This young man
Got a long way to go
Got some thorns
Stuck in his side

Here you come
My heart breaking
I'm in love
For you and more

Judas kiss
Kiss of betrayal
I will not let it break me

Here you come
My heart breaking
I'm in love
For you and more

You come my way
Elation

Here you come
My heart breaking
I'm in love
For you and more

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.
