(Read only, anymore; sorry.)
Short version of rules
Without using a search engine to find one, write down at least eight words of a song containing the word (or the topic, if it's a general topic).
If it's the newest word, play once, and wait for another player to play before you go again.
On older words, you can play over and over without waiting!

Winston tastes good like a cigarette should
Winston tastes good like a (clap clap) cigarette should.
Commercial jingle from the 1960's and maybe earlier too, used as a bad example in grammar classes, and it might be "snap snap" rather than claps, but it's a two-beat percussive bit there.
Here we are, out of cigarettes
Holding hands and yawning
Look how late it gets
Two sleepy people
By dawn's early light
Much too much in love to say goodnight
(Fats Waller)
Every day's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines.
--"Homeward Bound," by Simon & Garfunkel
Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth
"Rock and Roll Suicide" David Bowie
Where is my Marlboro man?
Where is his shiny gun?
Where is my lonely ranger?
Where have all the cowboys gone?
Paula Cole
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I got nothin' to do
Hey remember that time when I would only smoke Parliaments?
Hey remember that time when I would only smoke Marlboros?
Hey remember that time when I would only smoke Camels?
Regina Spektor "That Time"
Tell St. Peter at the pearly gate
I just hate to make him wait
But I gotta have another cigarette
A cigarette pressed between her lips, but I'm starin' at her tits, it's the wrong way
Sublime
(Sandra didn't credit a song)
I didn't credit two songs. I can sing them but I don't know who sang them. They're both from the 1950's, I think; country-swing kind of things.
Don't bogart that joint my friend
Hand it over to me...
And that one I don't know either, and it's from the late 60's. Possibly Country Joe and the Fish
.... are you sure that's a cigarette joint? Oh well, my turn.
Today I sat and smoked myself to cancer
Thinking 'bout the dancer at the bar
Well how was I to know that a crush could just implode
Say Anything "That Is Why"
and he likes his fags the best,
cause he's better than the rest,
Well Respected Man ~ Kinks
Now I'm falling asleep and she's calling a cab while he's having a smoke and she's taking a drag
The Killers "Mr. Brightside"
...how he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
The same cigarettes as me
I can't get no...
Rolling Stones, "Satisfaction"
Cigarette holder which wigs me
Over her shoulder, she digs me.
Out cattin'
That satin doll.
(Ellington/Strayhorn/Mercer)
Wonderin' what my first smoke would be like
my first fuck, my next fuck-up
Bayside "Blame It On Bad Luck"
Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in your knapsack.
We smoked the last one an hour ago...
Simon and Garfunkel, "America"
Toss me a cigarette.
I think there's one in my raincoat.
We smoked the last one an hour ago.
So I looked at the scenery.
She read her magazine.
And the moon rose over an open field.
Simon and Garfunkel, "America"
Early in the morning
Rise into the street
Light me up that cigarette
And I'll strap shoes on my feet
"What I got" Sublime
A TIE (only Shan knew the words better).
No phone, no food, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes...
"King of the Road," Roger Miller
ugh...Sandra beat me by a minute....but, according to my book of Paul Simon lyrics, "raincoat" is the correct word ...yup. I have a book with just Paul Simon Lyrics (complete through 2008)...fanatical, much?! =)
Ain't got no smokes, ain't got no job
"Ain't got no" from HAIR
When you're a jet, you're a jet all the way
From your first cigarette to your last dyin' day
West Side Story
But he just smoked my eyelids,
and punched my cigarette.
Bob Dylan, "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again"
If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass,
Can't think of anything I need,
no cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound, nothing to eat, no books to read
The Air That I Breathe ~ Hollies
(I was trying to think of that "first cigarette"!)
Looks in her bag, takes out a fag
Lily Allen "Knock 'Em Out"
'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is flicking a cigarette
Alanis Morissette
This is more about the smoking than the cigarette, but I like the lyric, so....
Come what may
We are entitled by our birth
To the treasures of the earth
No one must be denied these
No one must be denied
Easy dreams at the end of a chain-smokin' day
Easy dreams at the end of the day.
Paul Simon, "Citizen of the Planet"
It's a flat tire, when you're already late....
A No Smoking sign on your cigarette break.
Alannis Morisette, "Isn't It Ironic?"
-=-(I was trying to think of that "first cigarette"!)-=-
Keith helped me. I was saying "West Side Story, Officer Krupke or somewhere, the Jets. There's a cigarette!" I was going crazy. He should've started singing "keep cool, boy..." (Snap, snap...)
I bet there's a Beatles song with a cigarette, but I thought so fast and hard my brain had a traffic jam.
Watching the days burning out like a cigarette,
Cigarette by yellowcard
"J'ai tout mangé le chocolat
J'ai tout fumé les Craven A
Et comme t'étais toujours pas là
J'ai tout vidé le Rhum Coca"
ha ha, I bet youguys didn't know that one ;-)
Okay, is using a different language cheating? (and the song doesn't have the word "cigarettes", but a brand : "Cravon A")
Singer is Sabine Paturel, the name of the song is "les bêtises"
Nah, it's fine. Thanks for playing.
I have little whiffs and hints of parts of cigarette songs in my head and it's bugging me. I hope I wake up thinking of some.
Your mother was a wolf bite
your daddy was a cigarette
your brother was a rosebud
crossbred with a car wreck
your sister was a stockbroker
but you ain't nothin' but
a turtleneck...
---Jewel, "Love Me Just Leave Me Alone"
(no idea what any of that means! lol)
Holly, from Twitter (she's in a bed and breakfast in Manchester, but her computer isn't):
"Woke up in a hotel room, cigarettes and lies I am a child it's too soon"- meant to play that on Lyrics Game yesterday.
Black lipstick stains her glass of red wine
I am your servant
may I light your cigarette...
---Type O Negative, "Love You to Death"
Sandra, from "King of the Road," that lyric is describing the hotel:
No phone, no POOL, no pets;
I ain't got no cigarettes.
Two hours of pushing broom
Buys an 8 by 10 four bit room.
I'm a man of means by no means,
King of the Road!
(I listened to that a lot on my parents' stereo as a kid. There is a companion piece, "Queen of the House.")
Good, Nan, thanks! I never listened to it closely and it never made sense before and now it does!
I don't drink, or swear,
Or even rat my hair.
I get ill from one cigarette.
"Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee"
Woohoo! Thanks, Jennifer. I thought there was a cigarette in that song and couldn't think of it.
"Ich liebe Dich" by "Clowns und Helden"
Vorher - vorher rauch ich noch 'ne Zigarette
Meist rauch ich dann zwei oder drei Schachteln und halt meine Klappe
...
Gib mir noch 'ne Zigarette, ich bin völlig aufgedreht
Oh bitte lach jetzt nicht - ich liebe dich
It's the greatest song about confessing your love that I know. Here is my humble translation:
I'll - smoke another cigarette
Usually I end up smoking two or three boxes and keep my mouth shut
...
Give me another cigarette, please, I have to calm down
Please don't laugh, but - I'm loving you
