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 »

I'd love to take this lying down
But the world we know has lost it's crown
All night talk an' jazz cigarettes
Is never gonna change this killer town 
I see her walking
In perfect time
She gives me reason
To carry on 

Round the corner comes salvation
Made to order is what you found
Why oh why do we fool ourselves
Is it just the need to carry on 

I see her walking
In perfect time
She gives me reason
To carry on 

Shake the tree you find
Shake don't cut it down 

Glamour takes it's toll on you
Throw away what's out of view
Pearls of wisdom hang around your neck
They warm to the touch of your perfect skin 

High, high, high
High, high, high 

I see her walking
In perfect time
She gives me reason
To carry on 

Shake the tree you find
Shake don't cut it down 

Shake the tree you find (I see her walking in perfect time)
Shake don't cut it down (she gives me reason) 

To carry on 

I see her walking
In perfect time
She gives me reason
To never say die 

I see her walking
In perfect time (shake)
She gives me reason (the tree you find)
To never say die
