The Presets are Julian Hamilton (keyboard and vocals) and Kim Moyes (drums and keyboard). They are an electronic two piece from Sydney, Australia who met when they were both members of Prop. Hamilton and Moyes broke off from Prop in 2003, when they remixed a track, "Magnetic Highway", with "harder electronic edges" under the name The Presets.
The Presets have been one of the biggest indie bands for the past few years in Australia, touring with and supporting many well known bands such as Daft Punk, 2 Many DJ's and Ladytron.

Em Tonight the Dm Tonight the hills are watching her Am As she runs towards the sea G6 Yeah she runs so she'll be free
EmDm And of all the friends and enemies she’s made along the way Am They are no where in her thoughts G6 As she dives beneath the waves EmDm And he's the one that you've seen sometimes on TV
Am And his shirt is on the ground G6 While he's tackled by police EmDm And the parcel that he throws across the bridge into the creek Am It'll flow towards the sea G6 It will meet with her tomorrow
[Chorus:] EmD No place.................. GAsus4A Some time................. EmD We'll clear............... GAsus4A Our eyes.................. EmD And when.................. GAsus4A You're down............... EmDGAsus4A I'll come --- a--- round.................
Em And all the Dm Places she’s been along the way Am Flames are licking at their walls G6 Night glows with their remains
EmDm From far away the animals come gather round to see Am But she knows not how they feel G6 And she knows not what it means
EmD (!) When she was young we'd ask her what she'd like to be AmG6 And she'd close her eyes and dream..................
EmD ...................... Am ...now we're no where in her thoughts G6 As she dives beneath the waves.
