Last Cigarette is just one of those irresistible rock songs that blows a hole in the radio. Great hooks, a cool half-spoken melody, an easy chorus to sing along with, it’s just fun.
I don’t want to ascribe too much meaning to this one. It seems to just be about living life one day at a time.
And of course, the lyrics:
Hey hey it’s been so long since I have written with opinion
Oh it’s sharper than a sabre, I don’t feel like Errol Flynn
Got no computer I can’t type a letter in
You’re not responding right I guess I better start again
Well you can tell this fella’s hungry got a dozen mouths to feed
He asked for money for a bus pass and my, heart bleeds
I throw him a dollar that’s exactly what he needs
To get another jug of Thunderbird and not just what he asked us for a
Last cigarette, last cigarette, last cigarette, one before I go to bed
Last cigarette, last cigarette, last cigarette, one before I go to bed
A wha wha hua, a wha wha wha hua, a wha wha wha hua, a wha wha wha hua
A wha wha wha hua, a wha wha wha hua, a wha wha wha hua, a wha wha wha hua
I know it’s killing me
Yea I know it’s killing me
Yea I know it’s killing me
Yea I know I know I know I know I know I know I need a
Last cigarette, last cigarette, last cigarette, one before I go to bed
Last cigarette, last cigarette, last cigarette, one before I go to bed
(shut up!)
It’s getting late you got to get the kid in bed
You got to kiss the little woman put the children in the bed
Check the sports and weather and the living and the dead
You don’t have to hear the headlines you can hear what Johnny Carson said
Oh mister saint now won’t you listen to me please
I’m saying I’ll stay in bed but I’ll pretend I’m on my knees and praying
One for my hunger and another for my greed
And just forget about my envy Lord and give me what I need, I need a
Last cigarette, last cigarette, last cigarette, one before I go to bed
Last cigarette, last cigarette, last cigarette, one before I go to bed
A wha wha hua, a wha wha wha hua, a wha wha wha hua, a wha wha wha hua
A wha wha wha hua, a wha wha wha hua, a wha wha wha hua, a wha wha wha hua
I know it’s killing me
I know it’s killing me
I know it’s killing me
Yea I know I know I know I know I know I know I need a
Last cigarette, last cigarette, last cigarette, one before I go to bed
Last cigarette, last cigarette, last cigarette, one before I go to bed
