“Lookin’ at Luckey”
words and music by Bradley Wik
Her real name was Sophi, but they all just called her “Luckey”
Cause they knew just what she was good for
And she was already kind of famous
And I was new to New York
She was in love with the Chaos, the Confusion and the Noise
And she loved all the attention from the desperate Boys
And she never went out on Fridays, the crowds weren’t right
She loved all the last chance romance of a Saturday Night…
She came on kind of heavy and burned out way too early
Here’s Lookin’ at Luckey…
And when the Cigarettes and Dreams just weren’t quite enough
That’s when she met this guy who turned her on to the harder stuff
She said she’d rather feel numb than feel all the pain
And when she started coming down, that’s when she started up again…
When I met her we danced beneath that mysterious glow
When the Moonlight mixed with the Streetlight, it was kind of magical…
She came on kind of heavy and burned out way too early
Yeah, Here’s Lookin’ at Luckey
She started so strong but fell behind early
Here’s Lookin’ at Luckey
In her drunken haze all the boys, they all seemed so cool
But in the morning they turned back into people that she already knew
She moved in and out of bars, and she moved in and out of cars
She was just trying to find a safe place to sleep…
She liked the thought of being somebody else
That’s why the name it never bothered her, it kind of helped
No matter who was with her she always felt so alone
And I thought that I could save her, but man, I should’ve known
I should’ve known…
Her real name was Sophi
Her real name was Sophi
But Here’s Lookin’ at Luckey…

“Let’s Go Out Tonight”
words and music by Bradley Wik
Don’t you whisper my name like you love me again
Babe, I know that sometimes even Losers can win
But this ain’t the time and this ain’t the place
When I say I love you I see that look on your face
But we can’t run away babe, there ain’t no safe place to hide…
I know you’re searching for something
And you want to be wild and free
But there ain’t nothing here that can save you babe
There ain’t nothing here but me
So come on Baby
Let’s Go Out Tonight
Maybe we’ll find it again, find it again someday
But for now I’ve got that old Crown Vic outside and I want to take you away
And find us some peace, baby just for tonight
I can’t promise anything for tomorrow, I can’t say we’re gonna be alright
Cause this ain’t the time and this ain’t the place
When I say I love you I see that look on your face
But we can’t run away babe, there ain’t no safe place to hide…
I know you’re searching for something
And you want to be wild and free
But there ain’t nothing here that can save you babe
There ain’t nothing here but me
So come on Baby
Let’s Go Out Tonight
Maybe we’ll find it again, find it again someday
But for now I’ve got that old Crown Vic outside and I want to take you away
Girl, I want to take you away
I know you’re searching for something
And you want to be wild and free
But there ain’t nothing here that can save you babe
There ain’t nothing here but me
So come on Baby
Let’s Go Out Tonight

“Ain’t Dead Yet”
words and music by Bradley Wik
As the years pass on, there’s so much we want to forget
All the hurt and pain of all those mistakes that we’ve made
But they’ll soon fade til they’re hardly like memories
And soon it’ll seem like it wasn’t even you and me
But all those words you never heard
They’re the ones that broke your heart
And babe, I want to try and put it back together…
All those restless nights that we spent alone
Just trying to find us a little something, trying to find us a home
Some nights all you can do is Hope and Wish and Pray
That someday babe, someday babe we’re gonna make it through
But all those words you never heard
They’re the ones that broke your heart
And babe I want to try and put it back together…
When you ain’t got nothing, Babe, you got nothing to Lose
Just take my hand give me one last chance to Prove myself to you…
Don’t you lie to me baby, and I won’t lie to you
And don’t you say that you love me, unless it’s true
Cause I still love you baby, you know I do
So don’t you lie to me baby, and I won’t lie to you
Cause we Ain’t Dead Yet…

“Dance the Night Away”
words and music by Bradley Wik
When we kissed it felt like Lightning
But we both knew we were doomed right from the start
But you played your part so well
And we made it through that year trading our love for lust
But we both knew we were too old to trust
So, we’ll wait for the Night to make our plans
We’ll wait for the Night, just follow my feet and baby, take my hand…
Baby, don’t you idolize me
I’ve got way too much to learn
Anyhow, you’re just a broken down angel trying to turn it around
So, we’ll wait for the Night to make our plans
We’ll wait for the Night, just follow my feet and baby, take my hand…
And we’ll Dance the Night Away
But baby don’t you be upset
And don’t you regret me
I was never worth that much anyhow
And the Mystery of the Night will get us through another day
As I try and believe in all those words that I say
So, we’ll wait for the Night to make our plans
We’ll wait for the Night, just follow my feet and baby, take my hand…
And we’ll Dance the Night Away

Still Believe in Love

“Still Believe in Love”
words and music by Bradley Wik
All the empty bottles of wine are reminders of better times
And the clothes on the floor, the guitar on the bed…
We’ll hold each other close
And we’ll kiss as if we know all those words we say, we won’t remember anyway
But those Cigarettes and Dreams are just like our memories
They’re always gone, gone, gone in the morning…
But the clothes on the floor and the guitar on the bed are all just evidence
Of what I want to believe in
I want to Believe in Love…
I can’t help but think of you on Manhattan Avenue
Greenpoint at night was always so beautiful…
But the clothes on the floor and the guitar on the bed are all just evidence
Of what I want to believe in
I want to Believe in Love…

“Some Girls (Still Love Rock N’ Roll)”
words and music by Bradley Wik
She was in love with the night
The mornings they were always the hardest
Cause she’s always getting way too drunk
And waking up in random apartments
Now, she’s just trying to find her way back home
And those West Coast Summers they’re gonna suck your soul
But there’s still something in the night
That’s gonna make us feel alright, at least until the morning comes…
And we all kind of lost ourselves that summer
Going to work still-drunk and coming home hung-over
Sometimes that’s just the way it goes
We were still trying to believe that Rock N’ Roll really could be our saviour
And yeah I still believe
I still believe in her
But all she wants to do is to get drunk and to get high with Strangers
so she can tell them lies because they don’t know the difference…
But there’s still something in the night
That’s gonna make us feel alright, at least until the morning comes
And we were all just looking for a little Hope
And it turns out that Some Girls Still Love Rock N’ Roll
But when she wakes up alone
She always kinda wonders just how she got back home
She don’t like waking up alone
And it’s the lonely nights that kill her they always make her wonder
If it’s ever gonna get any better
Girl, it’ll get a lot better, you just got to hold on
You just have to hold on for One More Night…
There’s still something in the night
That’s gonna make us feel alright, at least until the morning comes
And we were all just looking for a little Hope
And it turns out that Some Girls, oh, they Still Love Rock N’ Roll…

“No Truth in the Summer”
words and music by Bradley Wik
In the Darkness we will move like Lovers that we used to know
Cause we’re still new and you don’t know a thing about me
And I don’t know a damn thing about you
And we don’t know where we’re gonna be when the Summer ends…
Her love is like This Old House but that’s just the fleeting nature of Love
Cause when you’re gone baby I’ll just find me someone new to be thinking of
And so will you
And we don’t know where we’re gonna be when the Summer ends…
We’ll drink until blackout just trying to find us a little peace for now
But there’s No Truth in the Summer so we just gotta make it through somehow…
When you think of me babe, remember me just as I was
Cause when you’re happy you only think of the bad things
And when you’re lonely you only think of all the good stuff
And we don’t know where we’re gonna be when the Summer ends…
We’ll drink until blackout just trying to find us a little peace for now
But there’s No Truth in the Summer so we just gotta make it through somehow…

“Baby, Don’t Cry”
words and music by Bradley Wik
Baby, Don’t Cry, you’re not alone
I’ve seen those tears before
I will dry your eyes and hold you close
But they’re not here anymore
So, baby, rest easy tonight, I’ll be here
Rest easy tonight, my dear
And I know you’ve been hurt real bad before
By all the boys who never knew
Just what they had and what they lost in you
Oh, they’re not here anymore
So, baby, rest easy tonight, I’ll be here
Rest easy tonight, my dear
Cause I ain’t gonna Run…
Baby, Don’t Cry, you’re not alone…

“Down to the Ocean”
words and music by Bradley Wik
Baby, don’t you say those words
Cause they mean so much less now than the first time I heard
And we’ll find that Love and Hope and Faith and Fear
Buried neath all those years
Of disappointment and regret
Words never spoken and never meant…
And we’ll go down to the water
And we’ll go down to the sea
And we’ll go Down to the Ocean
And we’ll kiss as if it still means something…
Baby, in those final days
We’ll hold on to nothing cause nothing is all that’s left
And we’ll think back on all the Good Times
We thought would never end…
And all that disappointment and regret
Words never spoken and never meant…
And we’ll go down to the water
And we’ll go down to the sea
And we’ll go Down to the Ocean
And we’ll kiss as if it still means something…

Bradley Wik and the Charlatans Charlotte, North Carolina
Your ears are ringing as you pour yourselves out of the bar and into the street, still laughing.
The moon is bright
in the night sky and the way it mixes with the streetlights makes you see each other in a way you’ve missed for the last few years. In that moment, all the hard times fade away. She smiles and grabs your hand as you think to yourself, “Some Girls Still Love Rock N’ Roll…”
