N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

They make a deal when they come to town
The Sunday swap meet is a battle ground
She loves him more than he will ever know
He loves her more than he will ever show
Keeps his cigarettes close to his heart
Keeps her photographs close to her heart
Keeps the bitterness close to the heart
Nirvana

Is it my imagination
Or have I finally found something worth living for?
I was looking for some action
but all I found was cigarettes and alcohol
Oasis

I won't be the one who bothers you
I won't be the one who lets you down
Now that you're there
You're not scared
Why would you care
It's your dream
Not theirs
There's a cigarette thief
Stealing cigarette disease
I wish I was there
Our Lady Peace

 He could've tuned in, tuned in
But he tuned out
A bad time, nothing could save him
Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
He got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles
He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree
The wind rose up, set him down on his knee
Pearl Jam

Up here in my tree,
Newspapers matter not to me,
No more crowbars to my head,
I'm trading stories with the leaves instead,
Wave to all my friends,
They don't seem to notice me, no
All their eyes trained on the street, yo, oh
Sidewalk cigarettes and scenes, tempted
Up here so high i start to shake
Up here so high the sky i scrape
I'm so high i hold just one breath here within my chest
Just like innocence
Pearl Jam

I used to smoke two packs a day and I just hate being a nonsmoker...but I will never consider myself a nonsmoker because I always find smokers the most interesting people at the table.
Michelle Pfeiffer



I quit smoking - and let me tell you, I was a professional smoker, and I still miss it. I know she was trying to kill me, but I really loved the bitch
Brad Pitt

Don�t bother saying your sorry
Why don�t you come in?
Smoke all my cigarettes again
Everytime I get no further
How long has it been?
Come on in now
Wipe your feet on my dreams...
I�ve done this before
And I will do it again
C�mon and kill me baby
While you smile like a friend
Oh and I�ll come running
Just to do it again.
You are that last drink I never should have drunk
You are the body hidden in the trunk
You are the habit I can�t seem to kick
You are my secrets on the front page every week
You are the car I never should have bought
You are the train I never should have caught
You are the cut that makes me hide my face
You are the party that makes me feel my age.
You're like a car crash I can see but I just can�t avoid
You're like a plane I�ve been told I never should board
You're like a film that�s so bad but I�ve just got to stay �til the end
Let me tell you - that it�s lucky for you that we�re friends.
Pulp




 Back to the lab, without a mic to grab
So then I add all the rhymes I had
One after the another one, then I make another one
To dis the opposite then ask if the brother's done
I get a craving like a fiend for nicotine
But I don't need a cigarette, know what I mean?
I'm raging, ripping up the stage and
Don't it sound amazing 'cause every rhyme is made
And thought of, cuz it's sort of an addiction,
Magnatized by the mixing
Rage Against the Machine


I don't watch the TV, I watch the clock
Party goin' up there on the block
the neighbors complain that they can hear
I smoke my cigarettes, drink my cola
I need more cigarettes
More cigarettes, I need
The Replacements

So I handed him my bottle, and he drank down my last swallow.
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light.
And the night got deathly quiet, and his faced lost all expression.
He said, 'If you're gonna play the game, boy, you gotta learn to play it right.
You've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away, know when to run.
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.
Every gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away and knowin' what to keep.
'Cause every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep.'
And when he finished speakin', he turned back toward the window,
Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep.
And somewhere in the darkness, the gambler he broke even.
And in his final words I found an ace that I could keep
Kenny Rogers

Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed,
With the echo from the amplifiers ringing in your head,
You smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what she said
Bob Seger

I wake up
To beat the sun from her glory
I'm only
One cigarette
Away from mobility
It's always
Punch in punch out
Go to work and go back home
There's only one chance left
And I know
And I know
Where she is waiting
Seven Mary Three

Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life.
Brooke Shields

I don't know why I did it, I don't know why I enjoyed it, and I don't know why I'll do it again.
Bart Simpson

Smoked my last cigarette, sat in bed for a while,
Thought of your face and that brought me a smile,
Wanted another one, fell back asleep instead,
Woke and found you sitting there on the bed
Cigarette, cigarette, burning up time.
Cigarette, cigarette, watch the smoke climb.
Cigarette, cigarette, wasting away...
Just like this cigarette, our time is running down,
Only one hour 'til you're leavin' this town.
Just like this cigarette, our time is running down,
Only one hour 'till you're leavin' this town.
Walked to the corner store, bought us another pack,
Held my arm 'round you as we headed back.
I tried to change your mind, didn't want you to go,
I love you more, I think, than you will ever know.
Smoked one last cigarette, sat in bed for a while,
Thought of your face and that brought me a smile
Smithereens

Drivin� faster in my car
Falling farther from just what we are
Smoke a cigarette and lie some more,
These conversations kill
STP



A cigarette pressed between her lips,
But I'm staring at her tits,
It's the wrong way
Sublime

Early in the mornin', risin' to the street
Light me up that cigarette, and I'll strap shoes on my feet.
Got to find the reason, reason things went wrong
Got to find the reason why my money's all gone
I got a dalmation, I can still get high
I can play the guitar like a mother fuckin' riot
Well, life is too short so love the one you got,
'Cuz you might get run over or ya might get shot
Sublime

The fact that society doesn�t seem to think there�s anything wrong with advertising anymore and that advertisers have inserted their fingers into the anus of every possible frame of mind or ideas that people have. It could be the banning of smoking in a lot of cities. People don�t go out as much. That�s certainly the case for people in Vancouver and Ottawa. It�s just fucking killing music scenes. It�s stupid.
Martin Tielli

Smoking is stupid, really. But I don't care about it. It's a very nanny society. I don't like a government that tries to take care of its people, you know, worries about their health. What are they going to worry about next? Have you had sex? You can't do things that are bad for you. Whatever. Get out of my life.
Martin Tielli

Cold wind blowing over your private parts
I know a lack you've got
and it makes a strong case for art.
Billboard breasts, they don't have a face,
I know that fact you've got,
No girl could ever trace. Lionized,
Smoking just a little too violently
I know that fact I've got
And I know it single-mindedly
Stupid, stoned cause and effect
I know a lack you've got
And you don't even lack it yet
The Tragically Hip

Saw you looking for a light
Face painted cigarette white
You asked the cleanest boy you found
You couldn't see me turned around
His fingers stretched across your empty gaze
But I just can't escape
As the red fades from your wrinkled dress
Picture all the people you've impressed
Hangs on a wall around here
Vision starts to crawl when I'm near
And the evening waits
While you get caught up to your own mistakes
Made up of different lines
I wouldn't wanna keep in my mind
I wondered why you'd come around
Remembering your little girl frown
Your answers kept the crowd at bay
With compliments unwilling to pay
I had some things I'd like to say to you
But they just can't be true
Treble Charger

If I cannot smoke in heaven, then I shall not go.
Mark Twain

What's your perception of love?
Now, how many times did we say it was over
And how many times did we not leave
There's no sense in this love hangover
Please come back to me
Cause I can't forget your ways
I still remember our first kiss
I'm nervous and tremblin'
Smoking cigarettes at night
Wondering where you been
Smoking cigarettes at night
I can't cope with this
Tweet

 I�m just a little bit heiress,
A little bit irish
A little bit tower of pisa
Whenever I see ya
So please be kind if I�m a mess
Cigarettes and chocolate milk
Rufus Wainwright




There are some circles in america where it seems to be more socially acceptable to carry a hand-gun than a packet of cigarettes.
Katharine Whitehorn

A cigarette is the perfect type of a perfect pleasure. It is exquisite, and it leaves one unsatisfied. What more can one want?
Oscar Wilde

My dinner's on fire
While she watches TV
And if you've ever wondered
What it's like to be me
She takes all my money
And leaves me no smokes
Yells at my buddies
And insults my folks
I'm breakin' my back doin' the best that I can
She's got time for the dog and none for her man.
And I'm no dope,
But I can't cope,
So hit the fuckin' road and piss up a rope
Ween



Watching the days burning out like a cigarette, just a few drags to go.
Built me up and broke me down somehow.
Everything just seemed so clear to me, nothing left to know
I'll love you right and I'll love you pure, right now
How can you say, that it's too late
To save us now
And I would wait for you, if you would wait for me
And I will wait for you, if you would wait for me
Intoxicated the edge is serrated, so easily torn from the core
I blushed the first time, but you blushed the last time my eyes in your mind
regenerated these feelings of hatred, I long for your love evermore
You built me up and you broke me down this time.
Yellowcard

My brother went to prison
He's in Kingston doin' time
He got seven years for sellin'
What I've been smokin' all my life
Time off for good behavior
Neil Young

The end of a good smoke is a little saddening. In some regard, it's a bit like losing a best friend who had time to sit and listen.
~Zen Warrior

Jess and I at Village, our fav place for coffee, on the last day that you could smoke there, July 31st, 2003 (photograph by Jennifer Ribeiro © Jennribeiro Inc, 2003
