What You Need Lyrics
Hey, here is the story
Forget about your troubles in life
Don't you know it's not easy
When you've gotta walk upon that line
That's why
You need
That's what
This is what you need
I'll give you what you need
Don't you get sad and lonely
You need a change from what you do all day
Ain't no sense in all your crying
Just pick it up and throw it into shape
Hey you won't you listen
This is not the end of it all
Don't you see there is a rhythm
I'll take you where you really need to be
Forget about your troubles in life
Don't you know it's not easy
When you've gotta walk upon that line
That's why
You need
That's what
This is what you need
I'll give you what you need
You need a change from what you do all day
Ain't no sense in all your crying
Just pick it up and throw it into shape
This is not the end of it all
Don't you see there is a rhythm
I'll take you where you really need to be

I think it's about saving someone from themselves and getting away from their daily mundane troubles and the like...
INXS are the best aussie band ever.... and this is their best song
yep, i'd say that me, dlewis16 and long_live_inxs are the only cool people in this place, simply because we have commented on the bets INXS song out there. congrats to us.
I freaking LOVE this song!! Everytime it comes on I just have to get up and dance!!
I can't believe that this song has only 4 comments. This song f*****g rocks!
I heard Michael say this on a concert, his intro was literally "This song is about sex"
LOL... it doesn't sound like it.

What you need is a good rock beat when you are down.the groove or rhythm will transport you to nirvana.pick it up and throw it into shape means if your depressed,it's up to you to get yourself out of it by putting away your problems for a minute and just dance to Inxs.
This really reminds me of the song "Bring it on Home" and is far from the same genre, but I think I got the jist of the song when I found this one. I know the pop INXS, but will have to take a listen to this one and only because the words are very complimentary to the theme I have been feeling for a bit. I would like to hear though, "just pick it up and throw it my way" instead of "throw it into shape." Yeah, I think so. And after where he says "where you really need to be" I feel he should say...with me!
The producer/manager told them they needed a hit song for the album “Listen Like Thieves”. The band’s effort to make one, resulted in the lyrics of this song.
“That's why You need That's why This is what you need, I'll give you what you need”
A vague reference to god, claiming that religon is ideal for people who are stuggling in life and in need of guidance.
