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.

D Em Bm G
First things first: I have a happy secret
D Em
The next bit's worse
Bm A G
I intend to keep it that way
D Em Bm G
I can't remember the last word spoken
D Em Bm
I got some mail I didn't open
A G
It's an un-read letter day
D Em
I know both of us are poor
D G
But baby what are phone bills for
D Em Bm G
D Em
When it's not raining
Bm G
All these streets are filled with students
D Em Bm
But you won?t catch me complaining it's a nuisance
A G
It's useless I know
D Em
A storm rolls across the suburbs
D G
And the streets are as empty as the cupboards
A
But for the boy most likely
G
And the girl most lovely
D Em Bm G
Given time I could get tired of all this sleeping
D Em
The days I've thrown away
Bm A G
And the hours that I am keeping
D Em Bm G
But for a while I'm fairly happy feeling hopeless
D Em Bm
A somersault in a winter coat
A G
I didn't notice a thing
D Em
And I say it like it's unrehearsed
D G
But I said it in the bathroom first
A
"The boy most likely
G
And the girl most lovely"
D Em
The hedges and the hibiscus
D Em
As soon as she?s outside she says
D Em D G
?I grew up in the tidiest of towns?
D Em
Past the pub where my parents met
D Em
Resigning ourselves to modern architecture
D Em D G D
Don?t let the barstools get you down
