Biography:
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.

Intro: D A [x 2]
D A
I’ll drop you a postcard, I’ll pick up my pen
D C#m Bm
Miranda Street’s deserted, it’s winter again
D A G D
Give me ten minutes and I’ll paint you a picture
D A
Of holiday houses where the sun won’t shine
D C#m Bm
And the paint is peeling around the ‘vacancy’ sign
D A G D
Where it’s winter forever, whatever the weather
G D
And these are my autumn years
D A
And this is the town where the girl got run down
D C#m Bm
Pale sun in the pine trees, her golden hair on the ground
D A G D
Her body crumpled and I was sick by the side of the road
G D
The sun goes down on the town where the sun never rose
D A D C#m Bm
D A G D
D A
I’m waiting for December, I’m waiting for September
D C#m Bm
I’m waiting for the tide to come back in
D A G D
Give me fifteen seconds and I’ll show you around
G D
Where I end is where I begin
G D
There’s nothing inbetween
D A
Kicking a stone along Miranda Street
D C#m Bm
Stepping on cracks in the concrete
D
With a head full of loose change
A
And a pocket full of ideas
G A D A D A
I could walk forever and never get out of here
D A
This is the town where the girl got run down
D C#m Bm
And this is the town where the postman was drowned
D A G D
And this is the town where that foundling was found
G D
And the name round his neck was mine
G A Bm A
How could it ever be so cold in summertime?
G A D
I’m too young to be so old in Summer Town
G D [x4]
