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.

I must admit I find it funny
E B C#m A
But I might have known she’d find it dumb
E B C#m A
The air hostess and the blow-up dummy
E B C#m A
I’m in stitches and she’s twiddling her thumbs
D Dsus4 D A
She hasn’t laughed once
[Play E B C#m A through twice]
E B C#m A
She thinks there’s something wrong with my sense of humour
E B C#m A
And I think there’s something wrong with hers
E B C#m A
Once upon a time she was easily amused
E B C#m A
But now I think that joke might be getting worse
D Dsus4 D A E E/F# A C D
It was funny at first
E A F#m B
I’m overjoyed when she understands
E A F#m B
I could make her chuckle if she gave me half a chance
E A F#m B
But the most she ever gives me is a second glance
E A B
She never gets a kick out of my punchlines
[Play E B C#m A through twice]
E B C#m A
I saw her smiling during Gilligan’s Island
E B C#m A
I suspect sarcastically
E B C#m A
Despite myself, I’m beside myself
E B C#m A
My sides are splitting but so is she
D Dsus4 D A E E/F# A C D
She’s laughing at me
E A F#m B
I’m overjoyed when she understands
E A F#m B
I could make her chuckle if she gave me half a chance
E A F#m B
But the most she ever gives me is a second glance
E A B
She only ever gets a kick out of my punchlines
