INXS

INXS (pronounced "in excess", In-XS) were an Australian rock band, formed as The Farriss Brothers in 1977 in Sydney, New South Wales. Mainstays were Garry Gary Beers on bass guitar, Andrew Farriss on guitar and keyboards, Jon Farriss on drums, Tim Farriss on lead guitar and Kirk Pengilly on guitar and saxophone. For 20 years, INXS were fronted by Michael Hutchence on lead vocals, whose "sultry good looks" and magnetic stage presence made him the focal point of the band. Initially known for their New Wave/ska/pop style, they later developed a harder pub rock style, including funk and dance elements. more »

Well just the other day 
While alone in my room 
I said to myself 
I need something new 
I've cut a new life slice 
And feed the lions twice 
And they'll shake their manes in confusion 
My love 
My love's in vain 
My love 

Put a bet on everything 
It'll come up fine 
My fingers are crossed 
And tapping in time 
You got a pretty face 
Such a pretty pretty face 
You can brush your own mane 
Fame is your pain 

Maybe an older woman 
Will show me a way 
To ease those creases 
And crave no reasons 
'Cause reasons are with gods 
There's a heaven within me 
But we all shake our manes in confusion 

Should I grab you by the collar 
Or just go my way 
With a knife between my clean white teeth 
Don't want your feather in my cap 
Don't care about that 
You can brush your own mane 
Fame is your pain
