INXS

Songwriter: Michael Hutchence Andrew Farriss

Producer: Chris Thomas

Shake make it forever
Curling from you lips
Faith and it's not over
Bring on that famous word

Love don't abuse it
And you'll never be sad again

I'm on my way
I'm on my way

Blood's getting hotter
Thinking about your hips
I feel all the hunger
The minute you turn away

I think it's getting better
But I can't wait another day

I'm on my way
I'm on my way

Make all your wishes
No sooner said than done
Here I come like I told you
Whether it's air, land or sea

She said this is the real thing
Cause your never gonna find the door

I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way

Love don't abuse it
And you'll never be sad again

I'm on my way

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.
