PINK FLOYD LYRICS

"Have A Cigar"

Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar.

You're gonna go far, fly high,

You're never gonna die, you're gonna make it if you try;they're gonna love you.

Well I've always had a deep respect, and I mean that most sincerely.

The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think.

Oh by the way, which one's Pink?

And did we tell you the name of the game, boy

we call it Riding the Gravy Train.

We're just knocked out.

We heard about the sell out.

You gotta get an album out,

You owe it to the people. We're so happy we can hardly count.

Everybody else is just green, have you seen the chart?

It's a helluva start, it could be made into a monster

if we all pull together as a team.

And did we tell you the name of the game, boy

we call it Riding the Gravy Train.

 

BRAD PAISLEY LYRICS

"The Cigar Song"

Well I'm a sucker for fine Cuban cigars

The problem is I can't afford 'em

But last year I went and got myself a whole box

And just to be safe I insured 'em

 

[Chorus]

I took out a policy against fire and theft

And then I hurried home

With a thirty-cent lighter I sat on my back steps

And I smoked 'em one by one

 

Two weeks later I went to see that insurance man

And I handed in my claim

With a straight face I told him that through a series of small fires

They'd all gone up in flames

 

[2nd Chorus]

They reviewed my case and they had no choice

But to pay me for what I'd done

And I took that check and bought a whole new box

And I smoked 'em one by one

 

Two weeks later this detective shows up

Tells me that company's pressin' charges

One speedy trial later they locked me up

On twenty-four separate counts of arson

 

[3rd Chorus]

And now I sit and I stare at a blank brick wall

Lookin' back on what I've done

To pass the time I've got some ten-cent cigars

And I smoke 'em one by one

Yeah, I smoke 'em one by one

 

JETHRO TULL LYRICS

"A Small Cigar"

A small cigar can change the world

I know, I've done it frequently at parties

Where I've won all the guests' attention

With my generosity and suave gentlemanly bearing

A little flat tin case is all you need

Breast-pocket conversation opener

And one of those ciggie lighters that look rather good

You can throw away when empty

Must be declared a great success

My small cigars all vanish within minutes

 

Excuse me, mine host, that I may visit

A nearby tobacconist

To replenish my supply of small cigars

And make the party swing again

 

I know my clothes seem shabby

And don't fit this Hampstead soiree

Where unread copies of Rolling Stone

Well-thumbed Playboys

Decorate the hi-fi stereo record shelves

If you ask me they're on their way

To upper-middle-class oblivion

The stupid twits, they roll their only

One cigarette between them

My small cigar's redundant now

In the haze of smoking pleasure

Call it a day

Get the hell away

Go down the cafe

For a cup of real tea

 

By the tube station, there's a drunk old fool

Who sells papers in the rush hour

I hand to him ten small cigars

He smiles, says, ``Son, God bless you''

 

A small cigar

Has changed his world, my friend

A small cigar

Has changed the world again

 

A small cigar . . .

 

MARIO VAZQUEZ LYRICS

"Cohiba"

Whoo

Im a boss so I hit her with the little head game

I can tell she like to taste sweet things

First thing I met her for sense a switch go

Damn I been gone too long

She know what the business was

I told her to get at it

Took the lead promo static

Puerto Rican mix sweet tone

Only promise she was with this cat standing 6'4"

She said I ride my own (check)

Go away (check)

Don't worry bout it your just another pay (check)

She said I aint gotta ask anything I want (yet)

I said what that's called when you move it like (that)

She kept reiterating she had a thing for (sex)

A man and another man she tried (yet)

So I pulled back put it up another drink

She like tell me what you think

Gotta just take another puff

 

[Chorus x2:]

She wanna smoke cohiba

You gotta work for that

Can I smoke your cohiba

She told me not to think how could I hesitate

Who would love the chance

Just to give it to me

I knew it the things I would do to her

But I keep thinking me him and her

But the obvious told me believe her

Heard that she giving me the fever

Slow up ma and kick back

While I think about what im gon do with that

She said I ride my own (check)

Go away (check)

Don't worry about it

Your just another pay (check)

She said I aint gotta ask anything I want (yet)

I said well

 

What's that called when you move it like (that)

She kept reiterating

A man and another man she tried (she tried)

So I pulled back put it up another drink

And we don't know how to act now

All talk puff this 'til we pass out

Man he so crazy and he my baby

And he gon pay me now

He sound crazy cuz he aint got paying

And you aint staying now cash talk

With a project

Fat in a palm and it got knocked

Cuz she palm from the Bronx

With the hardest lift

Yea definitely for the sonic kick

 

[Chorus x2:]

She wanna smoke cohiba

You gotta work for that

Gotta work for that

Can I smoke your cohiba

You gotta work for that

Gotta work for that

She wanna smoke my cohiba

You gotta work for that

Gotta work for that

Can I smoke your cohiba

You gotta work for that

Gotta work for that

 

Herman's Hermits lyrics

”The Man With The Cigar”

 

The man with the cigar walked on up to where I was workin' this mornin'

The man with the cigar said that I was workin' too slow

& if I didn't speed it up, he'd have to let me go

 

I'm workin' like a dog, so why's he always hangin' around me to hound me?

He's pushing me too far, & pretty soon my back is gonna break

I've taken all that I can take from the man with the cigar

 

[2x:]

I need this job & I need it bad

That's why I gotta keep myself from gettin' mad

The man with the cigar, I hope he doesn't push me too far

Yeah the man with the cigar

Yeah the man with the cigar

Yeah the man with the cigar

 

SCABS Lyrics

“Robbin' the liquor store”

 Standin' by the store at a quarter to eight

Just before opening time

I look at my reflection gotta lose some weight

First I need a bottle of wine

Look at me now I got a smile on my face

And a brown paper bag in my hands

This is the way that I spend my days

The bottle is my best friend

I light a cigar as I walk to the bar

My head is killing me

I take breath and count to three

One for the road boy one for the road

I'm robbin' the liquor store

One for the road boy one for the road

I'm robbin' the liquor store

Jacky Jimmy Johnny I tasted them all

They're real good friends of mine

When we are together we're havin' a ball

We have ourselves a real good time

I light a cigar as I walk to the bar

My head is killing me

I take a breath and count to three

One for the road boy one for the road

I'm robbin' the liquor store

One for the road boy one for the road

I'm robbin' the liquor store

I noticed that I'm shaking like a leaf on a tree

It's nothing that a drink can't solve

I'm thinking of the person that I wanted to be

I told him not to get involved

I light a cigar as I walk to the bar

My head is killing me

I take a breath and count to tree

I got the shakes boy I got the shakes

I'm robbin' the liquor store

I got the shakes boy I got the shakes

I'm robbin' the liquor store

 

Millencolin lyrics

“No Cigar”

 Tell us where you're from,

what you want to become.

And we'll say if you're OK.

Where did you go to school?

Right answer and you're cool.

Yeah, you're the kid the whole day.

 

You get a sticker in your face.

Information about the case,

so you know your potential.

Don't you think you can extend.

Don't you think you can extend, just comprehend.

But I don't wanna hear it,

no, it's more than I accept.

 

I don't care where I belong no more.

What we share or not I will ignore.

 

We will shut you out.

We'll put you in doubt.

If you think that you're special.

We'll tell you who you are.

Tell you that you're close but no cigar.

But I don't wanna hear it,

no, it's more than I accept.

 

'Cause I don't care where I belong no more.

What we share or not I will ignore.

And I won't waste my time fitting in.

'Cause I don't think contrast is a sin.

 

What they say is...

Go back, where you came from.

They'll tell you that, but I don't wanna hear.

No I don't wanna hear. No I don't wanna hear it.

No, it's more than I accept.

 

'Cause I don't care where I belong no more.

What we share or not I will ignore.

And I won't waste my time fitting in.

'Cause I don't think contrast is a sin.

No, it's not a sin.
