Raised on leather, with flesh on her mind
Words as weapons, sharper than knives
Makes you wonder, how the other half die? Other half die
Makes you wonder, wonder, wonder
Here come the man, with the look in his eye
Fed on nothing, but full of pride
Look at them go, look at them kick
Makes you wonder, how the other half live
The devil inside, the devil inside
Every single one of us the devil inside
The devil inside, the devil inside
Every single one of us the devil inside
Here come the world, with the look in its eye
Future uncertain, but certainly slight
Look at the faces, listen to the bells
It's hard to believe we need a place called hell, place called hell
The devil inside, the devil inside
Every single one of us the devil inside
The devil inside, the devil inside
Every single one of us the devil inside
Here comes the woman, with the look in her eye
Raised on leather, with flesh on her mind
Words as weapons sharper than knives
Makes you wonder, how the other half die
The devil inside, the devil inside
Every single one of us the devil inside
The devil inside, the devil inside
Every single one of us the devil inside
The devil inside, the devil inside
Every single one of us the devil inside
The devil inside, devil inside
Every single one of us the devil inside
The devil inside, yeah, yeah, yeah
The devil inside, yeah, yeah, yeah
Criminally underrated band and not much mentioned these days. Hutchence was one of the most charismatic front men in the history of popular music. Lucky the folks who got to see them live.
BEST COMMENT! 10!!
9 for Hutchence. 7 for composition, 8 for delivery.
That cat had it made.
The day I heard that Hutchence died by suicide, a part of me died too. What hope do we have when someone who had everything could still see no hope for the future? I learned more later about the problems he faced, but its still so incredibly sad.
Meanwhile, easy 10's on almost all INXS songs which always get me up and bopping!
5 years later and we're up to a 7.1 rating on this gem from the 80s....Long Live RP!!
5 Years later it's a 7.3.
The 80's are finally being recognised as a pretty Awesome Decade?
I would love to go back ... They actually WERE "Good Old Days"
Saw Mystify- pretty good movie- learned a lot
me too. agreed.
Hard to believe that we lost him 24 years ago today.
really is hard to believe.
i do miss him.
such a great voice.
Can't help but remember my wild English mate "Short-Circuit" Mike, from Newcastle, bopping and lip-synching to this around the bungalow we had in Kuta Beach Christmas '88/ New Year's '89, especially the morning after we did some Magic Mushroom Omelets from Midnight Oil Cafe over in Legian. I miss him, and miss INXS!
Now that's a great memory you have filed away! I can almost picture it.

I keep hearing The Stranglers.
Same here. I think bits of this remind me of Skin Deep. It's only a passing similarity, but it's there for me.
Steven Wilson is a big fan of INXS.
Anybody listen to his remixes of INXS albums?
No, He has done some great remixes. But, he sure mucked up Yes with his remixes!
GREAT TUNE!! Great kick drum sound!
DAMN GREAT!!! ...deep thump w/ a transient snap!!!
Anybody listen to his remixes of INXS albums?
The Jersey Devils!
The other drums are cool. ...I'm just not a big fan of the gated-reverb sound!
Is it possible there's another radio playing somewhere??
Heh, heh, heh-heh-heh. That was funny!

Okay, it's time to pull out a 10!

Agreed 100%!
My enjoyment of this track comes from memories of "lip synching" this with a couple of classmates in (whatever grade a 10 year old is in) music class back at Mukilteo Elem school, gosh what an assignment that was! I remember the look on Ms. White's face when we started playing it. Looking back now I realize she probably LOVED this song, heck she probably danced at clubs when this was popular. As a 10 year old though, the meaning of the song was lost on us....we just heard the words "Devil" and "Hell" and that was enough to make it cool. An 8 from me (7 for the track and +1 for the memory) - Long Live RP and here's to all schools being able to keep teaching MUSIC to the kids.
I agree - people remember what they want to remember, unfortunately, too many only seem to remember who and what they saw on MTV instead of paying attention to the other artists emerging at that time.
I remember that the band shot the video for Devil Inside at the local bar in Newport Beach.
Excellent dancing back in da day in the clubs with big ol' speakers!
Smells like roses to me!
As more than 82% of your ratings are 5 or less (and that's 3841 ratings!), I'm surprised you think you've ever liked anything. Why are you here, exactly, when you dislike so much of what's played?
"it just reeks of 80's..."
I don't think this song does, nor INXS in general. Their sound was bold, brassy, and unique in a decade largely associated with post-punk synth-pop (some of which is very good actually). I believe folks tie them to the eighties if they heard them in the eighties. Folks that didn't, I suspect, and did not know from which decade they came, would struggle to identify their decade. Their music was mostly immaculately produced, which did tend to be a hallmark of the eighties, but falls short of the overly slick production style that a lot of the popular hits of that time had. What I think anyway.
MTV and iconic bands like "Flock of Seagulls" often are the things people think of first when remembering the eighties but for many it was also a decade of great musical exploration, creativity, and diversity.

Then someone had to develop a fancy for auto-erotic asphyxiation, and that was the end of that.
