INXS Very Best Of Inxs Lyrics
1.Beautiful Girl

Nicky's in the corner
With a black coat on
Running from a bad home
With some cat inside
Now where did you find her
Among the neon lights
That haunt the streets outside
Stay with me

Beautiful girl
(stay with me)
Beautiful girl
(stay with me)
She wants to go home

From door way to door way
Street corner to corner
With neon ghosts in the city
And she sings

Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me

She's so scared
So very frightened
Anything could happen
Right here tonight

Beautiful girl
(stay with me)
Beautiful girl
(stay with me)
She wants to go home

Beautiful girl
(stay with me)
Beautiful girl
(stay with me)
Beautiful girl
(stay with me)
Beautiful girl
(stay with me)


2.Deliver Me

The take down
Is a mystery
All i want to know is why
Your eyes
Taking over
The apple in my eye
I'm in
A crowded room
Can't hear a single word they say
They're just talking faces
I don't believe i know your name

I smell you
On my finger tips
I hear you
Whispering
I feel you
All over me
I'm never gonna be the same

Whatcha
Trying to do to me
Please tell me the rules of the game
You see me
Shaking right through
No surprise
I'm looking this way

Deliver me
From your spell
Gimme gimme more of the same
Deliver me
From your spell
Gimme more gimme more
Gimme more of the same

Deliver me

Whatcha
Trying to do to me
Please tell me the rules of the game
'cause i'm just
Out of my skin
But the thoughts and the questions remain

Gimme more gimme more
Gimme more of the same

Gimme

More of the same


3.Devil Inside

Here come the woman
With the look in her eye
Raised on leather
With flesh on her mind
Words as weapons
Sharper than knives
Makes you wonder
How the other half die
Other half die

Makes you wonder

Here come the man
With the look in his eye
Fed on nothing
But full of pride

Look at them go
Look at them kick
Makes you wonder
How the other half live

The devil inside
The devil inside
Every single one of us
The devil inside

Here come the world
With the look in its eye
Future uncertain
But certainly slight

Look at the faces
Listen to the bells
It's hard to believe
We need a place called hell
A place called hell

The devil inside
The devil inside
Every single one of us
The devil inside

Here comes the woman
With the look in her eye
She's raised on leather
With flesh on her mind

Words are weapons
Sharper than knives
Makes you wonder
How the other half die

The devil inside
The devil inside
Every single one of us
The devil inside


4.Disappear

Say i'm crying
I'm looking at what's on t.v.
Pain and suffering
And the struggle
To be free
It can't ever be denied and i
Never will ignore
But when i see you coming
I can take it all
You're so fine
Lose my mind
And the world seems to disappear
All the problems
All the fears
And the world seems to disappear

Say you're mine
And give yourself to the
Feelings that you know
I'm needing
All that you can give me
All the things
That you do so well
Words are healing
Sweet anticipation
Making spells
As the shadows close in
Fall across all our yesterdays

You're so fine
Lose my mind
And the world seems to disappear
All the problems
All the fears
And the world seems to disappear

You're so fine
Lose my mind
And the world seems to disappear
All the problems
All the fears
And the world seems to disappear

Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear

Say if i could
Look into myself and reason
But i could never never see or
Make sense of the dealings
Turn around
Am i looking at salvation
Make me realise all that i am
You put the light inside this man

You're so fine
Lose my mind
And the world seems to disappear
All the problems
All the fears
And the world seems to disappear

You're so fine
Lose my mind
And the world seems to disappear
All the problems
All the fears
And the world seems to disappear

You're so fine
Lose my mind
And the world seems to disappear
All the problems
All the fears
And the world seems to disappear

You're so fine
Lose my mind
And the world seems to disappear
All the problems
All the fears
And the world seems to disappear


5.Heaven Sent

Your eyes are like deep wells of desire
Once in your arms i'm on fire
You were sent girl so perfectly true
Changing my life
Now i'm a survivor
Heaven sent
That's what i call you
Heaven sent
That's what i call you

Late at night when the evening fire has died
There's a look in your eye
Seductive images fly

Heaven sent
That's what i call you
Heaven sent
That's what i call you

One day you'll see what angels can see
Dressed in black if she comes back
I think i'll lose my mind

Tuesday she works
In the library uptown
Some useful knowledge
Can always be found
Don't burn the library
Till you've read all the books
Sometimes in life
You get a second look

Heaven sent
That's what i call you
Heaven sent
That's what i call you
Heaven sent
That's what i call you

Heaven sent
That's what i call you
Heaven sent
Heaven sent
Heaven sent
Heaven sent
Heaven sent


6.Listen Like Thieves

On the talk back show
On the radio
At the local bar
In the hot traffic
By the red tail lights
Everybody's down on their knees
Listen like thieves
But who needs that
When it's all in your hands

And we take it down
To the end of town
Where they have control
But they're losing touch
When the lights go out

You are all you need
You are all you need
And that is everything
So don't hesitate
There's no time to waste
You just do it for yourself


7.Need You Tonight

Come over here
All you got is this moment
The 21st century's yesterday

8.Never Tear Us Apart

Don't ask me
What you know is true
Don't have to tell you
I love your precious heart
I..........i was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart

We could live for a thousand years
But if i hurt you
I'd make wine from your tears

I told you
That we could fly
Cause we all have wings
But some of us don't know why

I..........i was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart

I don't ask me
I was standing
You know it's true
You were there
Worlds collided
Two worlds collided
We're shining through
And they could never tear us apart

You don't ask me
You were standing
You know it's true
I was there
Worlds collided
Two worlds collided
We're shining through
And they could never tear us apart


9.New Sensation

10.Original Sin

You might know of the original sin
And you might know how to play with fire
But did you know of the murder committed
In the name of love--yeah
You thought what a pity
Dream on white boy
Dream on black girl
Then wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams are washed away

There was a time when i did not care
And there was a time when the facts did stare
There is a dream and held by me
Well i'm sure you had to see
It's up in arms

Dream on white boy
Dream on black girl
Then wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams are washed away

You might know of the original sin
And you might know how to play with fire
But did you know of the murder committed
In the name of love--yeah
You thought what a pity

Dream on white boy
Dream on black girl
Then wake up to a brand new day

Dream on black boy
Dream on white girl
Then wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams are washed away

Play with fire
White boy black girl
In the name of love
White boy black girl
Black boy white girl
In the name of love--yeah
You thought what a pity
Original sin


11.Shine Like It Does

This is the power
Since time began
Every single hour
That we have known
And from each moment
All that is left
Sleep of the innocent
Just one desire
Shine like it does
Into every heart
Shine like it does
And if you're looking
You will find it
You will find it

This is the story
Since time began
There will come a day
When we will know


12.Suicide Blonde

Don't you know what you're doing
You got a death wish
Suicide blonde
Suicide blonde
Suicide blonde
Suicide blonde

Suicide blonde
Was the colour of her hair
Like a cheap distraction
For a new affair
She knew it would finish
Before it began
Something tells me you lost the plan

You want to make her
Suicide blonde
Love devastation
Suicide blonde
You want to make her
Suicide blonde
Love devastation
Suicide blonde

She stripped to the beat
But her clothes stay on
White light everywhere
But you can't see a thing
Such a squeeze
A mad sad moment
Glory to you
Glory to you
Take me there
Take me there

Got some revelation
Put into your hands
Save you from your misery
Like rain across the land
Don't you see
The colour of deception
Turning your world around again

You want to make her
Suicide blonde
Love devastation
Suicide blonde
You want to make her
Suicide blonde
Love devastation
Suicide blonde

You want to make
You want to make
You want to make her
Suicide blonde
You want to make
That's the story
Everything you wanna be
Everything you are

You want to make her
Suicide blonde
Love devastation
Suicide blonde you want to make her
Suicide blonde
Love devastation
Suicide blonde

Love devastation


13.The One Thing

Well you know just what you do to me
The way you move soft and slippery
Cut the night just like a razor
Rarely talk and that's the danger
It's the one thing
You are my thing

You know you voice is a love song
It's a cat call from the past
There's no ice in your lovers walk
You don't look twice cause you move so fast

It's the one thing
You are my thing

You've got a dozen men behind you
You've got dead flowers on the floor
You're too pretty in the daylight
It keeps them coming back for more

It's the one thing
You are my thing

It's the one thing
You are my thing

It's the one thing
You are my thing


14.The Stairs

In a room above a busy street
The echoes of a life
The fragments and the accidents
Separated by incidents
Listened to by the walls
We share the same spaces
Repeated in the corridors
Performing the same movements

Storey to storey
Building to building
Street to street
We pass each other on the stairs

Storey to storey
Building to building
Street to street
We pass each other on the stairs

Listened to by the walls
We share the same spaces
Repeated in the corridors
Performing the same movements

The nature of your tragedy
Is chained around your neck
Do you lead or are you led
Are u sure that you don't care

There are reasons here to give your life
And follow in your way
The passion lives to keep your faith
Though all are different all are great

Climbing as we fall
We dare to hold on to our fate
And steal away our destiny
To catch ourselves with quiet grace

Storey to storey
Building to building
Street to street
We pass each other on the stairs

Listened to by the walls
We share the same spaces
Repeated in the corridors
Performing the same movements

Storey to storey
Building to building
Street to street
We pass each other on the stairs


15.The Strangest Party(These Are The Times)

Welcome to the strangest party baby
It's like we're staring at the sun
Everybody's got their invitations
Hopin' that you're gonna come yeah
These are the times
Times
These are the crimes
Crimes
What are we waiting for
What are we hating for

You're part of the solution
Or part of the problem
You're gonna have to dance with one
You're giving up on
The future honey
I'll count you out of having some

Here comes the rain
Yeah here comes the rain yeah

These are the times
These are the crimes
What are we waiting for
What are we hating for

Wash away the rain yeah
Into the blue sea yeah

These are the times
These are the times


16.What You Need

Hey, here is the story
Forget about you 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
