Tudo começou em 1973, quando Nick Cave era aluno da Caulfield Grammar School e resolveu formar uma banda com os amigos.
Tendo grande influência o glitter praticado por David Bowie, Lou Reed, Alice Cooper, Roxy Music, Cave se juntou ao guitarrista Mick Harvey e ao baterista Phil Calvert, com membros flutuantes nos demais instrumentos.
O grupo começou a tomar forma quando o guitarrista Tracey Pew juntou-se ao combo em 1975 e, em 1976, nascia o The Boys Next Door, inspirado nos grupos punk locais como The Saints.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
AD On this side of the divided room the light grows thin BbD My world trembles with the sounds of them AD They move through the night, they run like fugitives BbD Escaping with only just their lives
Chorus (0:34)
AG You're friends of my world You're brides and grooms F Much too soon D You're friends of my world You pay as you go A You're in my show
AD On this side of the divided room the light grows dim BbD In next to no time we're all involved again AD And science takes another man BbD Too frail and scared to know what has possessed him
Chorus (1:18)
AG You're friends of my world You're this and that F Mud on the doormat D You're friends of my world You came as you are A You left in my car
DF Oh baby you are so divine GD Across the desert, across the line DF And the Sphinx that lies in Egypt's view GDCD That's a friend of my world too
Outro (2:07)
