    Porcupine Tree - "Don't Hate Me":



    "One light burns in a window
    It guides all the shadows below
    Inside the ghost of a parting
    And no one is left, just the cigarette smoke"

    Steely Dan "Negative Girl"

    I wait - I smoke
    I stare into my coke
    It's happening again
    I tell myself that it's over and done, amen

    “Out in the darkness, I light my cigarette..”

    This is the one I thought of first, but it’s not actually “With You There To Help Me,” but rather “To Cry You a Song.”

    Also, from Jethro Tull’s first album, “My Sunday Feeling”:

    Won’t somebody tell me where I laid my head last night
    Won’t somebody tell me where I laid my head last night
    I really don’t remember
    But with one more cigarette I think I might
