It just hit me
And I consider myself a hardcore INXS fan. Shame.
Earlier this week I expressed dismay over the title of the last track on the new INXS album, Switch. It's called "God's Top Ten," and I judged it as trite and cheesy, vehemently stating that Michael Hutchence deserved better.
This afternoon, I am sitting at my desk listening to Shabooh Shoobah and generally minding my own business. "Here Comes" plays, and the lyric in the third verse jumps out at me, calling attention to its existence and my stupidity:
Here comes my kamakazee [sic]
Here comes God's top ten
Nothing to be done to stop it
Nothing to get in its way
I've listened to Shabooh Shoobah no fewer than eight million times and I know every lyric, saxophone lick and growly sexy Hutchence moment like the back of my hand. But it totally passed me by that this lyric is the inspiration for the song about which I've been bitching.
I take it all back. Thank you, Andrew Farriss. I never should have doubted you, and I certainly should not be able to show my face around here anymore.
