“Cigarettes Out the Window” is the third track of TV Girl’s album Who Really Cares. It is inspired by and uses samples from Frankie Cosmos' song “Love Song to Jom’s Girlfriend”, which is about Frankie’s friend Vitti and her habit of smoking cigarettes out her window.
In addition, it features sample...
[Intro: Frankie Cosmos]
Boy now who smokes cigarettes out that window
Boy now who smokes cigarettes out that window
[Verse 1: TV Girl]
My girl Liddy used to always smoke
Cigarettes when she couldn't sleep
She'd disappear for an hour and a half
And when she'd come back, she'd brush her teeth
But I could still smell it on her raggedy tee
And I could taste it on her lips when we kissed
Poor little Liddy used to always quit
But she never really quit
She'd just say she did
[Chorus: Frankie Cosmos]
Boy now who smokes cigarettes out that window (Ooh-ooh)
Boy now who smokes cigarettes out that window (Ooh-ooh)
Boy now who smokes cigarettes out that window (Ooh-ooh)
Boy now who smokes cigarettes out that window (Ooh-ooh)
[Verse 2: TV Girl]
My girl Liddy used to always smoke
Cigarettes when she couldn't sleep
I wonder what she did when she got done
I guess she'd just flick them out in the street
Poor little Liddy, she wishes it was dark
But it's never really dark in LA
The light from the billboard always shines
But it changed twelve times since you went away
[Chorus: Frankie Cosmos]
Boy now who smokes cigarettes out that window (Ooh-ooh)
Boy now who smokes cigarettes out that window (Ooh-ooh)
Boy now who smokes cigarettes out that window (Ooh-ooh)
Boy now who smokes cigarettes out that window (Ooh-ooh)
[Outro: Victor Jory]
You'll find moonlit nights strangely empty because when you call my name through them there'll be no answer
Rather melodramatic, aren't you?
You'll find moonlit nights strangely empty because when you call my name through them there'll be no answer
You mind if I smoke?
You'll find moonlit nights strangely empty because when you call my name through them there'll be no answer
(Ooh-ooh)
I always smoke with the theatre
You'll find moonlit nights strangely empty because when you call my name through them there'll be no answer
(Ooh-ooh)
Somehow it enhances the performance
