INXS (pronounced "In Excess") is an Australian rock group. The band formed in 1977 under the name The Farris Brothers. Original members included Australian Michael Hutchence(lead vocals), Andrew Farriss (guitar and keyboards), Tim Farriss (lead guitar), Jon Farriss (drums), Garry Beers (bass), and Kirk Pengilly (saxophone and guitar). The band changed their name to INXS just prior to the release of their self-titled début album in 1980. The band's second album, Underneath the Colours released in Australia in 1981, included the minor hit with "Stay Young." The success of this album helped the band gain momentum and notoriety for the world-wide release of their third album, Shabooh Shoobah in 1982.

Calling All Nations Lyrics

INXS

Well you spent the whole day
With your axe to the wheel
Read the late paper it was full of bad news
Excuse me but I think what Im saying is true
Youve got to find some time and devote it to you
So come on down
To the party
Callin all nations
To put it on the line
So come on all you people with the stars in your hair
You know whats going on
Theres no need to despair
Take the chains from your mind
Take the chains from your feet
And do the sex dance cause its necessary
You dont have to be rich
You dont have to be famous
You just gotta have a little bit of patience
Jump into your old car
Or take a cab, train or boat
The only thing that matters
Is that ya gotta really go
