Consolidating the strengths of Shabooh Shoobah, The Swing is the first consistently impressive INXS album. With the Nile Rodgers-produced "Original Sin" acting as the centerpiece, The Swing retains the new wave pop sense and rock attack of their earlier albums, while adding a stronger emphasis on dance rhythms. At the same time, the group's songwriting had improved, with more than half of the album featuring memorable hooks.

Stephen Thomas Erlewine - All Music Guide



INXS gets the rhythm. Their first LP, Shabooh Shoobah, featured lush production and sweeping guitars, while The Swing is cleaner and more direct. The rhythms are insistent, the vocals are clear and cutting and the songs are clever, all infused with a playful, soulful verve. A top notch pop band with a top notch LP. Top cuts: "Original Sin," "Burn For You," "The Swing," "Johnson's Aeroplane," "Love Is (What I Say)."

ORIGINAL SIN

You might know of the original sin
And you might know how to play with fire
But did you know of the murder committed
In the name of love - yeah
You thought what a pity

Dream on white boy
Dream on black girl
And wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams have washed away

There was a time when I did not care
And there was a time when the facts did stare
There is a dream and it's held by many
Well I'm sure you had to see
It's open arms

Dream on white boy
Dream on black girl
And wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams have washed away

You might know of the original sin
And you might know how to play with fire
But did you know of the murder committed
In the name of love - yeah
You thought what a pity

Dream on white boy
Dream on black girl
Then wake up to a brand new day

Dream on black boy
Dream on white girl
And waked up to a brand new day
To find your dreams have washed away

Dream on, play with fire
White boy, black girl
Dream on, in the name of love
Black boy, white girl

Dream on, white boy, black girl
Black boy, white girl

Dream on, the name of love - yeah
You thought what a pity
Original Sin


MELTING IN THE SUN

I'm melting in the sun
And this is what they call the life
I suppose to much sun
Makes a desert Arab say

And I really love this country
There's a lot I wanna see

Great expectations
Of all we seem to be

And the winner
And the winner, the winner

Do you wanna make a story up
There's enough it always seems
If it happened in this morning
Tonight we'll see it on T.V

Great expectations
Of all we seem to be

Great expectations (take a look around you)
Of all we seem to be

And the winner
And the winner, the winner

She was twelve and knew the world
Her boyfriend knew a dance to this
Everybody's got advice
Take a snake, take a ladder

And this is what they call the life
I'm melting in the sun

Great expectations
Of all we seem to be

Great expectations (take a look around you)
Of all we seem to be

And the winner
And the winner, the winner


I SEND A MESSAGE

In the silence, I think of you
I send a message, and I hope it get's through
Think of the distance
Think of the miles
All of the valley's, could take a while

I miss the people
I miss the fun
Your my apparition
She's my only one

And I imagine you standing here
It's subliminal, so inspirational
Man of the world for all the good reasons
Take away the pain and drink the wine

I miss the people
I miss the fun
Your my apparition
She's my only one

In the silence, I think of you
I send a message and I hope it get's through
Think of the distance
Think of the miles
All of the valleys, could take a while

I miss the people
I miss the fun
Your my apparition
She's my only one

I miss the people
You miss the fun
Your my apparition
She's my only one


DANCING ON THE JETTY

Watch the world argue
Argue with itself
Who's going to teach me
Peace and happiness

We could sit here forever
Just never get old
Listen to the world
Letting God's tyres down

Hit cities, sharp nights
Rag clothing
Dancing on the jetty

So our feet stay dry

Watch the world argue
Argue with themselves
Who's going to teach me
Peace and happiness

Watch the world argue
Argue with itself
Who's going to teach me
Peace and happiness

Blood is upon the steps
Two thousand years ago
Pray like hell then we go to fight
Another war in a holy land

Shot the world
True story
Snap decision
In a moment's glory

We're gonna watch them keeping it strong

Watch the world argue
Argue with itself
Who's going to teach me
Peace and happiness

Watch the world argue
Argue with itself
Who's going to teach me
Peace and happiness

We're making trouble
We change tracks
Fool the system
Take time to take notice

Hit city
Sharp nights
Rag clothing
Dancing on the Jetty

Watch the world argue
Argue with itself
Who's going to teach me
Peace and happiness

Watch the world argue
Argue with itself
Who's going to teach me
Peace and happiness


THE SWING

It's the swing
It's the swing like a pendulum
It marks the moments as the years go by on an innocent face
The swing, into never never land

There was a darkness like an old friend
That scratched and crawled up the wall
Into my life
Into my destiny
Into my desire

It's the swing
It's the swing like a pendulum
So look behind you when the race has run
And the winner is made

The swing into never never land
There was a darkness like an old friend
That scratched and crawled up the wall
Into my life

Well it's the swing
The swing like a pendulum
Between the kisses and between the lines
There is nothing to hide

The swing into never never land
There was a darkness like an old friend
That scratched and crawled up the wall
Into my life
Into my destiny
Into my desire

Yeah, the swing
It's the swing like a pendulum

It's the swing
It's the swing like a pendulum

It's the swing


JOHNSON'S AEROPLANE

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

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

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

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


LOVE IS (WHAT I SAY)

This is
Food of love
They said
They got it wrong
Smiling
You and I
Thinking
Never say die

What I say now
What I say now
I don't think we know each other
Enough to lie
Enough is enough anyway

These changes
Lives alone
Drowning
By the fire
Out of death
He becomes
A man without
Qualities

What I say now
What I say now
I don't think we know each other
Enough to lie
Enough is enough anyway

This is
Food of love
They say
They got it wrong
Smiling
You and I
Thinking
Never say die

What I say now
What I say now
I don't think we know each other
Enough to lie
Enough is enough anyway

You and I
What I say


FACE THE CHANGE

Turns back to front
Turns hate to love
The simple things that mean a lot
Turns rock to sand
Turns ice to snow
It's you and me about to grow

Change the face of a magazine
Face the change of a million years
Stare in shock at what you saw
Take a breath, better lock the door
Tell your children what to do
Mistakes and all they still love you
Change the face of a magazine
Face the change of a million years

Turns rough to smooth
Turns don't to do
To reminisce turns me to you
Turns war to peace
Turns greed to need
The consequence of visionaries

Change the face of a magazine
Face the change of a million years
Stare in shock at what you saw
Take a breath, better lock the door
Tell your children what to do
Mistakes and all they still love you
Change the face of a magazine
Face the change of a million years

Turns back to front
Turns hate to love
The simple things that mean a lot
Turns rock to sand
Turns ice to snow
It's you and me about to grow

Change the face of a magazine
Face the change of a million years
Stare in shock at what you saw
Take a breath, better lock the door
Tell your children what to do
Mistakes and all they still love you
Change the face of a magazine
Face the change of a million years


BURN FOR YOU

It's no use pretending
That I understand
The hide and seek we play with facts
It changes our demand

Tilt my hat at the sun
And the shadows they burn dark
Light me and I'll burn for you
And the love song never stops

I like the look in your eyes
When you talk that certain way
I love the day in the life
When you know that lover's way

Minding my own business
When you came along
Temperatures been running hot
The fever was so strong

Tilt my hat at the sun
And the shadows they burn dark
Light me and I'll burn for you
And the love song never stops

Don't stop it

It's always an adventure
The fantasies we make a fact
Your the secret I desire
I can't keep that to myself

When we're not together
It doesn't feel so bad
We could be so far apart
But our love's not sad

It's no use pretending
Cause I understand
The hide and seek we play with facts
It changes our demand


ALL THE VOICES

Deep down in my heart
There is a lot of words
Tears fall down my face
But I hear the many voices that cry in pain

I wanna tell you
Don't give it up
I wanna tell you
Don't give it up

Hear the voices
That surround you
All the people
Never doubt it

Hear the voices
Take a look at what surrounds you
All the people
We can change things never doubt it

We won't take new start
Is it just too much to ask
What does it take
Cause I hear a million people singing the same

I wanna tell you
Don't give it up
I wanna tell you
Don't give it

Hear the voices
That surround you
All the people
Never doubt it
Hear the voices
Take a look at what surrounds you
All the people
We can change things never doubt it

We can change it
We can change it

Hear the voices
All the people
(repeat till fade)
