INXS - The Gift Lyrics






Oh, so fine
We were trying
Out of nowhere
Just in time
Let you take me
Deep down the river
Kiss the changes
That shape my life

Always
Left behind
All the tracks that
I could find
Do do do do do
All these scars are mine

I was thinking got the feeling
The gift you gave
Is gonna last forever

All the lies you find
All the truth you see
Rise and fall
But I know what's mine
Here we lie
Looking up to
Empty sky
And the promises we find

I'm not the first one
To ask why
Yeah, yeah

Do do do do do
Do do do do do
All we ever try

I was thinking
Got the feeling
The gift you gave
Is gonna last forever

I was thinking
Got the feeling
The gift you gave
Is gonna last forever

Do do do do do
Do do do do do
All these scars are mine

Do do do do do
Do do do do do
All these scars are mine

I was thinking
Got the feeling
The gift you gave
Is gonna last forever

All the lies you find
All the truth you see
Rise and fall
But I know what's mine

I was thinking
Got the feeling
The gift you gave
Is gonna last forever

All the lies you find
All the truth you see
Rise and fall
But I know what's mine

    very good track. I'd boost the snare up from that everlasting rimshot, because of which the mix lacks dynamism

  6. W.... W....

    Bought this as a single when it was released. Never seen the video. Very camp.

  7. W.... g....

  26. P.... N....

  27. j.... f....

    "The Gift you gave is gonna last forever" : if there was ever a more relevant song for the times we live in today eh?.

    j.... f....

    I related this line to a different meaning... to a relationship that could not last forever.

  28. J.... 8....

    O.o The other members of INXS also have a lot of charm... ^^

  29. z.... ....

    Охренительно уже как 20 лет!

    Michael hutchence was a babe. R. I. P. Handsome xx

  36. T.... T....

    Today i listen this song 20 times. Tomorrow again

  37. A.... S....

    I remember when the iron curtian has fallen, and suddenly I saw that clip. It was "too much" for me (i was 10-12 yo) but later i thought it was good song and clip!

  38. r.... s....

    Loved all her songs this one particularly . Great artist RIP

  39. W.... g....

    My all time favourite INXS song.

    W.... g....

    Definitely my fav also... :)

    W.... g....

    Sooth ing mine too

    W.... g....

    Agreed. In the UK you rarely if never hear it. It’s just a superb record.

    W.... g....

    The same

  40. M.... ....

    37 years old. Barely a fart in the wind.

  41. o.... ....

    Now, put this song on the radio, don't say the name of the band and look for reactions. How many people will be thinking that this "new" band is good, I wonder...

    o.... ....

    Agreed!!!

  42. M.... ....

    A song for the apocalypse.

  43. s.... ....

    Looks like our world.

  44. S.... O....

    38 people disliked this vid.no doubt rnb fans where alls they do is show tits n arse cos the songs are so shit.this song and band is what the music industry calls talent.

  45. m.... m....

    Thank you Michael very cool!

  46. W.... B....

    Probably their best, Jesus INXS were great.

  47. A.... H....

    Timeless.

  48. A.... B....

    This should be compulsory art and English education. The weight behind the images, the power of the individual amongst the masses, the importance of standing up for what's right. Plus it's an amazing track, still, so many years on.

  49. P.... G....

    Rock God.

  50. b.... ....

    This track totally blew my mind when it came out. Absolutely love it and it still stands up as an incredibly innovative sound today. x

    b.... ....

    byronbee I find it weird that this song went completely under the radar. It was like they were reinventing themselves but no one gave a fuck.

  51. L.... H....

    Why? That is my pissed of very sad thought...

  52. x.... ....

    do do do do do :))

  53. S.... g....

    think it got to no.11 in the charts wtf 😣

  54. S.... g....

    died too young

  55. F.... A....

    Michael Hutchence- One of the sexiest rock Gods ever! This song rocks!!!

  56. R.... M....

    T G
    H I
    E F

  57. A.... E....

    How much I miss him.

  58. J.... ....

    Such an underrated song.

    Michael it was a true musical gift for humanity.

    Michael Jackson at 4:42 !!!!! Yeah!

  66. J.... G....

    einer der besten Sänger dieser ära....schade das er von uns gegangen ist...auch deren Umstände...

  67. O.... K....

    On of the best singers ever. period

  68. p.... ....

    I feel like the fourth horsemen hell follows me wherever I go that's why I don't like being alive xxx

  69. B.... ....

    In 1993 I was all over the shop. I just left school and was deep into drugs and fucked up toxic relationships. The lines "All these scars are mine" and "I was thinking. I was feeling. The gift you gave was gonna last forever." gave me a sort of awakening I really didn't acknowledge until later but did set a course for a more positive direction in my life. If those lines meant something to you - especially the scars line - then you'll know what I'm saying. Lessons learned. Accept and move on.

    Thank you, Michael.

    B.... ....

    Amazing what music can do...

  70. �.... �....

  74. J.... F....

  82. S.... ....

    It was one of the first CD i've bought (Full Moon Dirty Hearts) i was only 12
    There's not many actual good bands partially influenced by INXS ...
    The Preatures are the only one i know and they are Aussies as well

  83. A.... B....

    Tim Farris never fit inxs...i was thinkig ...got the feeling..

  84. M.... J....

    I miss this music video in the early 90s. R.I.P. Michael Hutchence (January 22, 1960 - November 22, 1997) I miss him as an artist a lot!

    M.... J....

    Same :'(

    M.... J....

    Me too! I mis the INXS, real feelings, real social, political sensibility, high quality of their music, and Hutchence.... :(

  85. P.... R....

    Just about sums up my existence, full of masks and deep intentions.

  86. W.... M....

    All these scars are mine x

  87. �.... �....

     AIDS COOL

  88. S.... W....

    I had been looking for this song for ages. I am well made up i found it again after so many years. I first heard it back in 1994, loved the lyrics and everything that went with it, ( Proper good song ).

  89. S.... W....

    Isn't it just cool, that Kirk in this video looks like John Lennon!

    S.... W....

    I thought I was imagining that.

  90. J.... C....

    This version is diffirent than that which is in album :)
    Both versions are great !

  91. f.... ....

    Awesome video, great song. Forget Kick....THIS is when the boys were at the top of their game.

  92. p.... ....

    yeh mad song these guys rocked 

  93. J.... G....

    Great song!

  94. L.... ....

    Now let's do it angry!!!!!

    L.... ....

    @cranebeg It's pretty good. The acting was very good and the guy they got to play Hutchence did a good job.  I will say this: It was not as bad as the Brittany Murphy biopic. Now, that was absolutely horrible and you should avoid that movie like a plague. 

    L.... ....

    Mmmm I saw another programme about her, she died early in even more suspicious circumstances. :( Back to your first comment though, is that a line from the film?
    I just like what I see ;)

    L.... ....

    @cranebeg Yeah it is. He says it when they are in the recording studio, rehearsing the song. 

    L.... ....

    Ok cool, nice to talk ;)

    L.... ....

    @cranebeg :)

  95. P.... S....

    ВАЩЕ БОМБА!

  96. C.... ....

    all these scars are mine.

    C.... ....

    :-( Too true
