Cigarettes & Alcohol
Oasis · Time Flies... 1994-2009 [2010]
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!

It reflects the band's ability to balance anthemic energy with personal narrative, a hallmark of their discography during this era. The recording stands as a testament to their influence on Britpop and alternative rock, showcasing a sound that remains widely recognized and celebrated. While often associated with their earlier hits, this track demonstrates the group's continued relevance and musical depth well into the new millennium.
