The Lucksmiths were an influential indie pop band formed in Melbourne, Australia in 1993. The members are Martin Donald (Guitar), Taliesyn 'Tali' White (Vocals, Drums), and Mark Monnone (Bass) and in 2004 they acquired Mid State Orange's guitarist Louis Richter on second guitar. Whilst originating from beach-side Melbourne, the original three members of The Lucksmiths moved to inner Melbourne and fell in love with its charms. The songs Under the Rotunda, The Cassingle Revival and Tmrw Vs Y'Day all demonstrate as much.

Capo 5
GBmAm Darling roll the window down
I can't breathe GBmAm And I want to feel the northerly down my sleeve GBmAmCD7 I love a sunburnt elbow pointing to the sea GBmAm (3x) CD7
And, darling, can't you find us something on the radio? A song to pass the time Sweet and slow Conversation was forsaken long ago
G It's getting worse C You've hardly said a word AmG Since you set eyes on the horizon GCAm But I've seen the other side of that ocean there G And it can't compare EmCAmD7 Has it really been a year? EmCG How did those days just disappear?
We held our breath across each bridge Til we were blue But I wonder if I wished the same as you Like a ten-year-old pretending Summer isn't really ending
It's getting worse You've hardly said a word Since you set eyes on the horizon But I've seen the other side of that ocean there And it can't compare to this So I'll steal another kiss Before the sun goes down on this fibrotown And we give chase Like all those other days I suppose it's no surprise We drive, time flies EmCAmD7EmCG Has it really been a year? Where the hell do we go from here?
