Hey, in the silence
I think of you
I send a message
Hope it gets through
Think of the distance
Think of the miles
Over the valleys
Could take a while

I miss the people
I miss the fun
You're my aberration
She's my only one

And I imagine
You're standing here
It's subliminal
So inspirational
Man of the world
For all the good reasons
Take away the pain
And drink the wine

I miss the people
And I miss the fun
You're my aberration
She's my only one

Here, in the silence
I think of you
I send a message
And hope it gets through
Think of the distance
Think of the miles
Over the valleys
Could take a while

I miss the people
I miss the fun
You're my aberration
She's my only one

I miss the people
You miss the fun
You're my aberration
She's my only one

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 »
