Week Fifty-Three: INXS - "Kiss the Dirt (Falling Down the Mountain)" - Listen Like Thieves



Wednesday's & Thursday's songs are from the INXS album, Listen Like Thieves, so I'm including some images of my copy of What You Need on VHS, of course!!!



*INXS*INXS*INXS*INXS*INXS*INXS*INXS*INXS*


I love, love, love this INXS tune, but when I mention it to most people who claim to be INXS fans, they never seem to be as familiar with it as they are with other INXS tunes. I can't fault them for that because I would probably be in that same boat too if I wasn't the proud owner of the VHS tape for this video. It's easy to skip over, but it's such an amazing song!

According to Wikipedia:

"It was, however, the band's seventh single that failed to chart in the United States, but it did manage to reach #24 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks."

I'll also include the video for "What You Need", but you definitely owe it to yourself to check out all of the albums by INXS --- they are a phenomenal band!!!



Playing in the dirt
We find the seeds of doubt
Don't water them with your tears
Don't think about all the years
You'd rather be without 

Eden lets me in
I find the seeds of love
And climb upon the highwire
I kiss and tell all my fears 

Falling down the mountain
End up kissing dirt
Look a little closer
Sometimes it wouldn't hurt 

Playing in the dirt
We find the seeds of fun
And we scream like alleycats
Tearing down what we attack
To prove that we are one 

Cutting through the night
And we find the seeds of lust
And lose our minds on one intent
These passions never seem to end

Falling down the mountain
End up kissing dirt
Look a little closer
Sometimes it wouldn't hurt

You know it wouldn't hurt...hey!
Falling down the mountain
End up kissing dirt
Look a little closer
Sometimes it wouldn't hurt yeah
I said get up get up get up
Get up to the top, yeah
I'm falling down the mountain
End up kissing dirt, oh yeah
I'm falling, falling...aw yeah!

Cutting through the night
And we find the seeds of lust
And lose our minds on one intent
These passions never seem to end

Falling down the mountain
End up kissing dirt
Look a little closer
Sometimes it wouldn't hurt
