    George Jones - 'A Good Year For The Roses'

    "I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick
    On the cigarettes there in the ashtray...
    Lyin' cold the way you left them,
    At least your lips caressed them
    While you packed."

    The Hollies - 'Air That I Breathe'

    "If I could make a wish...
    I think I'd pass.
    Can't think of anything I need...
    No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound...
    Nothing to eat, no books to read."

    Her heart so heavy, a love attack
    Her dying cigarette in the rain..."

    rokritr Shoveling smoke with a pitchfork in the wind

    Surprised no one mentioned a former Beatle, great verse:

    Woke up this morning blues around my head
    No need to ask the reason why
    Went to the kitchen and lit a cigarette
    Blew my worries to the sky

    "And he likes his own backyard,
    And he likes his fags the best,
    Cause hes better than the rest,
    And his own sweat smells the best,
    And he hopes to grab his fathers loot,
    When pater passes on."

    "We got to stop smoking, stop, stop
    I mean cigarette smoking
    Or else I cough myself to death
    And to make love to you baby
    I wouldn't even have the breath."

    "Made my way upstairs and had a smoke"

    Maybe not tobacco, it's still a cigarette.

    It's cold outside
    And the paint's peeling off of my walls
    There's a man outside
    In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette…

    The Mexican kids are shooting fireworks below
