"Yes, I wish you were by my side." By My Side, INXS 1990 Lyrics by Michael Hutchence
By my Side: For my best friend, John Roderick gage
Roy DeSoto
The wind and the rain
The smoke and the fire
Up, down, all around
Everywhere I go you're by my side
The two of us stand together
Bound by our brotherly love and friendship
We stand tall together and raise each other up so that we fly together
Why do we do this?
Because it's what best friends do for each other
We are complete opposites
Me, Roy, the dependable family man who is not given to frivolity
You, Johnny, the crazy off the wall nervous bundle of energy
You go on silly kicks and rants and I end up calming you down
We don't always understand each other
Perhaps that is a good thing
Because if we understood each other completely, that could be a very scary thing indeed
But we are the two halves of a whole.
Yin/yang
By each other's side
We are brothers in every way except blood
And as such, we always have each other's backs
I hope that never changes
That we are always side by side
John Gage and Roy DeSoto
Roy DeSoto and John Gage
Best friends forever by each other's side
