Considered to be one of Australia's more successful rock bands of the late 1980s, their self-titled debut in 1987 had a series of successful singles, such as "No Lies," "Take Me Back," and "Welcome to the World." The band's second album, 1989's Touch, proved to be less successful commercially. Noiseworks disbanded in 1992, shortly after the release of the group's third album, Love Versus Money (1991).
Stevens has forged a successful solo career since Noiseworks with the albums Circle and Ain't No Life For The Faint Hearted. He went on to become the lead singer of INXS, but left after when he became frustrated with the band's lack of progress in generating new material.
2012 - The Band are in the studio recording a new album and touring later this year!

Noiseworks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh woh ooh woh oh, ooh yeah
What it is a burning flame
A fire out of control
What it is a chance in the world
For sanity down the road
What it is a simple thing
What it is the chance to bring
All of us together
[Chorus]
Love somebody
Love somebody
Love somebody
Got to love somebody
Ooh woh ooh woh oh
Ooh woh ooh woh oh
What it is I'll say it again
'Cause everybody needs
What it is a simple thing
All of us together

A fire out of control
What it is a chance in the world
For sanity down the road
[Chorus]
Ooh woh ooh woh oh
Ooh woh ooh woh oh
What it is what it is
What it is what it is
Huh!
