Lyrics for Cigarettes & Alcohol as interpreted by magicnudiesuit

Cigarettes & Alcohol Lyrics
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

You could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine
You might as well do the white line
Cos when it comes on top . . .

You gotta make it happen!

Is it worth the aggravation
To find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for?
It's a crazy situation
But all I need are cigarettes and alcohol!

You could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine
You might as well do the white line
Cos when it comes on top . . .

You gotta make it happen!

I can't believe that this song has beenher for 18 months and viewed that many times and yet no-one has commented. This just is the song of my youth. Brit pop. Blur -v- Oasis. Attitude and you just don't give a damn. You feel invincible and all you need is a fag and a pint and you're fine. C'mon you allmust have felt like that!

Liam&Noel say.. Cigarettes & Alcohol- "IT IS FUCKING ROCK!!! When people hear it they start smashing things up or pinching things. Someone wrote and told me they were bored one day, then they heard that song and decided to go out shoplifting. Brilliant. I wanted to write a song that was like Cum On Feel The Noize by Slade. A proper, boozy anthem."

Tells it like it is, but don't get carried away, its saying how people cope with shit. Country House has lyrics that says something different and does that well.

I love this quote. I made it my motto. Why stress yourself by working if there isnt anything to work for?

Love the song as a whole, great live.

Not only the guitar part was stolen. It's the SAME song, with different lyrics;
My dad's theory: Oasis was playing a cover of Bang a Gong, the guy sang different words, and they said, "Wow! We have a new song!"

You might as well do the white line 'cause when it comes on top, you gotta make it happen... He's of course talking about Cocaine, but what about it? When it comes on top??? Does he mean, when you reach success? or death?? Anyways, excellent drinking anthem!

Noel played this song to Bonehead, who was saying "you can't fucking do that! that's T-Rex!" Noel replied, "I don't give a fuck it's Oasis now!" He knows it's plagurised.

best oasis song by a fucking mile!!! It's talking about how people search their whole lives to be rich and famous "CHASING THE DREAM" but Oasis go against what the world tells us, and says fuck that shit, chill out, relax, have a smoke, have a pint, life can be a lot more chilled out.

Typifies what Oasis are about, and what so many people in this world think. No other British band were better at communicating with the masses than oasis.

"You might as well do the white line"
That's definitely a reference to cocaine. It's pretty much all about heavy partying. Great great song.
