The Lucksmiths -Untidy Towns
(Marty Donald)
>From the LP "Happy Secret"
(Candle Records LUC07- ?1999)
   DFirst things first: EmI have a Bmhappy sGecret
   DThe next bit's Emworse
   I intBmend to keep Ait that Gway
   DI can't Emremember the last wBmord spokGen
   I Dgot some Emmail I didn't Bmopen
   It's an un-Aread letter daGy
   I know Dboth of us are Empoor
   But baby wDhat are phone bills Gfor
D         Em      Bm      G
   DWhen it's not Emraining
   All these sBmtreets are filled wiGth students
   But you wDon?t catch me Emcomplaining it's a Bmnuisance
   It's Auseless I knoGw
   A storm Drolls across the Emsuburbs
   And the stDreets are as empty as the Gcupboards
   But for the bAoy most likely
   And the Ggirl most lovely
   DGiven tiEmme I could get Bmtired of all this Gsleeping
   The Ddays I've thrown Emaway
   And the Bmhours that I am AkeepingG  
   BDut for a whilEme I'm fairly Bmhappy feeling hopelGess
   A sDomersault in Ema winter coaBmt
   I didn't nAotice a thiGng
   And I Dsay it like it's Emunrehearsed
   But DI said it in the bathroom Gfirst
   "TAhe boy most likely
   And the gGirl most lovely"
   The Dhedges and thEme hibiscus
   As sDoon as she?s Emoutside she says
   ?I gDrew up in the Emtidiest Dof towns?G  
   Past Dthe pub where my Emparents met
   ResiDgning ourselves to modern Emarchitecture
   DDon?t let the Embarstools gDet you GdownD

The Lucksmiths -Untidy Towns

(Marty Donald)

>From the LP "Happy Secret"

(Candle Records LUC07- ?1999)

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

But for the boy most likely

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

"The boy most likely

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
