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.

THE GOLDEN AGE OF AVIATION
With Capo on 4th fret.
Intro: G Bm Am D C Am Em G
G Bm Am D
For argument's sake let's pretend we could stop arguing
C Am Em G
Over which of us is wrong and why it isn't you
G Bm Am D
We're barely awake before your head's up in the clouds again
C Am Em G
There's nothing you like more than having nothing much to do
C
Stood akimbo
G Bm Am D C Am Em G
Staring out the window at the sky
G Bm Am D
All afternoon you've been buried in a biography
C Am Em G
Of an aviatrix lost at sea, never to be found
G Bm Am D
Holed up in your room, holding out for an apology
C Am Em
But gravity will get to you eventually
G C
You'll come down from upstairs again
C
With all those model aeroplanes
G C
And the novelty wore off
G C
When the pilots still wore goggles
G Bm
But your eyes look skywards
Em C
And your mind still boggles
Then play: Verse chords
G Bm Am D
I'm going grey but you look younger than a year ago
C Am Em G
When you put your hair in pigtails and you put your hand in mine
G Bm Am D
We'll be OK - I'm happy when you're here
C Am Em G
But oh, your smile can seem as far away as once upon a time
C
You can't help it
C
Hopelessly nostalgic
Am C
A passing interest in the past
C G Em D
But I think it's going to last a little longer
Am C G
I'll hold on to your hand as tightly as I can
Em D
But modelling glue is stronger
Then play: Verse chords
Then play: C
G C
The novelty wore off
G C
When the pilots still wore goggles
G Bm
But your eyes look skywards
Em D
And your mind still boggles
G C G C
Through frequent flyers' disappointments and disasters
G Bm Em C
The golden age of aviation never lost its lustre
End on: G
With Capo on 4th fret.
