Need You Tonight - INXS

It's so strange
How my life's changed
I know nothing
About the people that I touched

Heard a story
It sounded easy
If you don't care
Then you're lying through your teeth

I was shook up
Intoxicated
Drank the juices
Of the possibilities

I'm so alive

If you told me
Nothing's perfect
Hearts are broken
Nothing's free

I could show you
Why it's worth it
That's the way that it's meant to be

It's too strange
How your life's changed
You know nothing
About the people that you've touched

Someone told me
Life is easy
Hearts were bleeding and breaking
They were lying through their teeth

If you told me
Nothing's perfect
Hearts are broken
Nothing's free

I will show you
Why it's worth it
And that's the way that it's meant to be

If you told me
Nothing's perfect
Hearts are broken
Nothing's free

I could show you
Why it's worth it
That's the way that it's meant to be

Heard a story
It sounded easy
Got a new skin and
I'm lying through my teeth
I was shook up
Intoxicated
I drank the juices of the possibilities

Of the possibilities

Michael Kelland Hutchence left this earth exact 10 years ago. His last recorded song was 'Possibilities'. A very triphopesque song, and in my opinion one of his masterpieces. You can hear the full official version on his official site. Danny Saber, who plays bass and keyboard in INXS, was co-writer of lyrics and music of this song. His sister Tina maintains a website in memory of her beloved brother Michael. His most popular song, Suicide Blonde, was written for Kylie Minogue. They played an awesome live version of Suicide Blonde on Jools Holland in 1994. Tall Paul made a blasting dance tune on the Decode label and used samples of "Never Tear Us Apart". Never Tear Us Apart was played on Michael Hutchences funeral.
