Can you spare a smoke? Songs that mention cigarettes

Cigarettes have been intertwined with rock and roll since its inception. I gave 'em up on a daily basis 20 years ago, although once in a blue moon I enjoy one. Let's see how many songs mention this now taboo habit.

 

Take Me To the River, Al Green, Foghat, Talking Heads, Bryan Ferry
Little Billy, the Who

 

That token drag on your cigarette

- Peter Hammill, Ophelia

 

Beatles - I’m so tired

 

Tom Robinson - Atmospherics (Listen to the Radio)

 

Blue Money - Van

 

Here ya go...

 

Queen - The Game

"When you're feeling down and your resistance is low
Light another cigarette and let yourself go"

 

The The - Slow Train To Dawn.

 

Do me a big solid ... laugh at this but don't try this - EVER!

 

I was cold at an equally cold place
a cigarette between the flame and my face

- Magazine, I Wanted Your Heart

 

You throw off your coat, pick up the post
And put a coffee on
Lie down on the bed, lay back your head
And smoke a cigarette

 

"And he just smoked my eyelids, and punched my cigarette..."

 

Beatles - A Day In The Life

 

The tell tale ticking of the last cigarette

- Marillion, Hotel Hobbies
