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.

Johnson's Aeroplane Lyrics

INXS

Four long lines one darker than the rest
Each one has a purpose, making borders on the land
Farmer's pride you know he works real hard
From a small aeroplane you can see the fields
Heart shaped hedges
Japanese gardens
Heart shaped hedges
Japanese gardens
Ah, ah, ah, ah
A place to work and grow
A place to work and grow
Ah, ah, ah, ah
A place to work and grow
A place to work and grow
Four long years one later than the rest
The animals are thin and the pastures dry
Farmer's pride if the weather doesn't lie
From a small aeroplane you can see the sea
Lot's of blue
Very deep blue
Ah, ah, ah, ah
A place to work and grow
A place to work and grow
Ah, ah, ah, ah
A place to work and grow
A place to work and grow
Johnson sees the fields from all the sides
Steel machines and black tar roads
Countryside where the spirit never dies
In his face all the history shows
Farmer's pride as the rains came down
Ah, ah, ah, ah
A place to work and grow
A place to work and grow
Ah, ah, ah, ah
A place to work and grow
A place to work and grow
Heart shaped hedges
Japanese gardens
Heart shaped hedges
Japanese gardens
Heart shaped hedges
Japanese gardens
Heart shaped hedges
Japanese Gardens
Ah, ah, ah, ah
A place to work and grow
A place to work and grow
Ah, ah, ah, ah
