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.

In Vain Lyrics

INXS

Well just the other day
While alone in my room
I said to myself
I need something new
Ive cut a new life slice
And feed the lions twice
And theyll shake their manes in confusion
My love
My loves in vain
My love
Put a bet on everything
Itll come up fine
My fingers are crossed
And tapping in time
You got a pretty face
Such a pretty pretty face
You can brush your own mane
Fame is your pain
Maybe an older woman
Will show me a way
To ease those creases
And crave no reasons
cause reasons are with gods
Theres a heaven within me
But we all shake our manes in confusion
Should I grab you by the collar
Or just go my way
With a knife between my clean white teeth
Dont want your feather in my cap
Dont care about that
You can brush your own mane
Fame is your pain
