Jimmy Eat World - Coffee & Cigarettes Lyrics






When I finally finished school
It was the first thing that I did
What every townie kid dreams of,
I packed and started west
A thousand dollars I had saved
And my sister's two cassettes:
The Dead from Fillmore East
And Otis Redding's Greatest Hits

Coffee and Cigarettes
As simple as it gets
Of all the things I think I'll miss,
There's staying up with you
Coffee and Cigarettes
Coffee and Cigarettes

Then, I commit with some restraint
To a boy I thought might care
It didn't work but I found out soon
And never dug roots there
Been a lot of places since
But nothing else compares
To easy times and easy eyes
To meet you in a stare

Coffee and Cigarettes
As simple as it gets
Of all the things I think I'll miss,
Coffee and Cigarettes
Coffee and Cigarettes

  35. k.... ....

    @moospha it's not that old, i'm still a baby. enjoy being nine because as of right now, you're invincible. the only authority you have to answer to is your parents. and they can't do anything :D don't be a hooligan, just understand that you have this window to act with impunity. i used my time to go into places and get into things. try to get on rooftops, they're amazing. and office buildings are neat. just say your parents work there. catwalks,boats,construction sites, get into all of em.

  36. k.... ....

    @moospha you're making me feel old and i'm only 20 haha

  37. k.... ....

    and i pause. sitting here this just took me home :') staying up with my brother's, late nights at shari's because it's the only place open. everything we talked about...
    "I finally finished school, it was the first thing that i did.
    what every kid dreams of, i packed and started East."
    I miss seattle...
    /replays

  38. T.... G....

    @demongoalie68 I've been looking for that song forever, since I heard the album and that's my favorite. But I checked your channel, and it says it contained content from UMG, so it was taken down. D: Does that mean it can't be put up here legally? That would explain why it's still not up here, but why only that song? Is it a cover?

  39. c.... ....

    coffee and cigarettes is from what album?

    c.... ....

    Its misery and poetry....

  40. m.... ....

    @Rockhalla1 You must live in Pittsburgh, I was there. Besides club zoo behind a piece of shit venue, they were amazing, this song in particular sounds awesome live.

  41. o.... ....

    I love this song- it constantly gets stuck in my head. <3

  42. M.... J....

    MAY 23!!!

  43. C.... T....

    @raysfroness ya man totally lol

  44. Y.... T....

    I seem to be in the minority here but I didn't really click with this song. I'm just not feeling the melody

  45. A.... D....

    i love this song if you think different then send me a comment me back
    thank you

  46. A.... S....

    this song is so bad it's good. Not as good as bleed american, but still has the JEW heart

  47. b.... ....

    I saw them when they played at the Marquee in Phoenix on the day before Halloween. Man that show was amazing.

  48. E.... C....

    I enjoy consuming the world, Asia tasted the best =S

  49. R.... ....

    Im so mad, they were in town on valentine's day and I missed it. Stupid girlfriend

  50. d.... ....

    @morelli15 Just uploaded cut :)

  51. R.... M....

    why is every song from this album on youtube besides cut?

  52. b.... ....

    the albuquerque show was intense.

  53. C.... ....

    I got home from the ABQ show, too! It was so great. I love this song, and I love Jimmy Eeat World!

  54. n.... ....

    @myndseye711 wait u listened to never shout never and u liked them? ha sorry im stupid and confused

  57. m.... ....

    @nsnlover321 After reading this thread, I had to go listen to them. They are like Hanson reincarnated. I liked this kind of music when I was 15 and didn't know better. But to each his own. They are no comparison to JEW.
