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.

Jan's Song Lyrics

INXS

There's Jan calling from the rooftops
She says she wants the world to hear
Her people's needs their basic rights
She shouts I'll make you understand
What it is we're striving for
A better deal across this land
She puts her hat on
Looks in the mirror
Say's to herself
You've nothing to fear
Her friends won't argue
Her friends don't care
Now is the moment
To get out of here
Jan's friends they're marching in the streets
The anger in their hearts
Provides a steady beat
On an on an on an on
There's Jan calling from the rooftops
She says she wants the world to hear
Her peoples needs their basic rights - right!
She puts her hat on
Looks in the mirror
Says to herself
You've nothing to fear
Her friends won't argue
Her friends don't care
Now is the moment
To get out of here
Generosity
Noble word to me
Our democracy
Noble words to me
