Hold tight
Nothing missing
Look around
Pupils listen

Or is it that
You've learnt too much
What's your limit
You know you've heard

A pack of lies, yeah
Chords in the neck are tense
So hold tight
Sometimes it seems to make no sense
And don't you cry
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah, I can see ya
You got it all under your skin
Turn around where you stand
Everybody takes aim at adversity

You know you've heard
Teeth are clenched
A pack of lies, yeah
Chords in the neck are tense

So hold tight
Sometimes it seems to make no sense
And don't you cry
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Hold tight

And there's no limit
The travel between our dreams
Has not come to an end
So let's keep up
Our unholy alliance

You know you've heard
Teeth are clenched
A pack of lies, yeah
Chords in the neck are tense
So hold tight
Sometimes it seems to make no sense
And don't you cry

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 »
