INXS - What You Need Lyrics






Hey, here is the story
Forget about the trouble in life
Don't you know, it's not easy
When you gotta walk upon that line

That's why - You need
That's why - This is what you need
I'll give you what you need

Don't you get sad and lonely
You need a change from
What you do all day
Ain't no sense in all your crying
Just pick it up and throw it into shape

Hey you, won't you listen
This is not the end of it all
Don't you see there is a rhythm
I'll take you where you
Really need to be

    What you need is a time machine that can go back to 1977 to see the birth of INXS

  30. T.... L....

    Another Great Song from 1986 ...yes there is a pattern here!

  31. P.... L....

    When I was in highschool one of my teachers was playing this song, I had to stay after to make up a test or something, I don't recall exacly. But I remember thinking to myself, this song is kinda lame, 16 years later it's one of the top songs on my 80s playlist and I'm watching the video on YT.
    RIP Mr. Robinson.

  32. I.... C....

    El mejor tema de INXS!

    Solid music with real instruments. Love the sound of that tenor sax. RIP Mike. You brought a sound to INXS, that is truly timeless!


    Who remembers Friday Night Videos in the late 1980's on NBC? INXS, Escape Club, & Fine Young Cannibals..... just a snippet of our youth in a bottle. Bring back the music we remember.

    INXS helped gave us great music that ushered in a lot of the sound of bands in the early '90s.

  59. j.... f....

    First INXS track that set me on course for being a "fan for life". Love the video, it was cutting edge at the time it came out.

  60. r.... ....

  61. n.... ....

    I'm not going to go all MUSIC SUCKS NOW but I don't really know any other bands that scratch the same "itch" INXS did.


    Also I think Michael Hutchence is partially responsible for my lifelong attraction to boys with curly hair and leather jackets...
