Story Behind The Song
A friend of mine gave up on looking for love because his heart was broken. "Welcome to the club" is what I thought.
Song Description
A new member of the "Lonely Hearts Club" is being welcomed to the group. The 12-step over tones indicate they're just like everyone else present, and a boucey beat with 60's style backing vocals unite to lighten the mood.

Lyrics
Lucky Ones
She hurt you and she broke you
And you think you?re the only one
Who had love, then lost love
And ended up coming all undone
You?re just the newest member of
The lonely-hearts club
Chorus
Another of the lucky ones
One of the lucky ones
One of the ones
Who knows what it means
Right now it?s hard to believe
You?re one of the lucky ones
A long kiss and a gone kiss
That?s just the way it is
We feel lovin?, real, real lovin?
And then it comes down to this
So grab a place anywhere
There are plenty of chairs for
Chorus
It?s better to have loved and have a broken heart
Than never to have felt the fall
Better to have crumbled and come a part
Than never to have loved at all
He was mine and then not mine
And even now I wonder why
I had love and then lost love
I tell you not a single day goes by
When I don?t miss the man
That broke me where I stand
And I don?t see the face
That bought my ticket
To this place
Making me a lucky one
One of the lucky ones
One of the ones
Who knows what it means
Right now it?s hard to believe
I?m one of the lucky ones
One of the lucky ones
That?s not how it really seems
And I?d give anything not to be
One of the lucky ones
