レイドバック時代最後の作品です。うろおぼえですが、断酒施設でのリハビリを終えてからの初のアルバムで、「自身に残されたのはこれだけ」という意味で "Money And Cigarettes" というタイトルになったとされています。前作 "Another Ticket" は正直あまり聴いてられない作品ですが、これは引き締まった感じのする作品で、結構好きかなぁ。レイドバック期が合わない人には、どうでもよさそうな感じですけど。パティを罵倒した"Shape You In"がアルバムの白眉、パティに捧げた陳腐な"Pretty Girl"がアルバムの汚点という気がします。
"The Shape You're In"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bV2tH6QP2w0
I took my baby to see a show.
She was telling me she didn't want to go.
I said, "Come on girl, what's the matter with you?"
But I could tell by the smell that she'd had a few.
[Chorus:]
I said hold on girl don't get too tight,
You started early and we've got all night.
You've got to take it easy, take it slow.
We don't want the whole world to know
About the shape you're in.
Well, my little girl really loves that wine.
Wine will do it to her most everytime.
If it's red or it's white or it's in between,
She can drink more wine than I've ever seen.
[Chorus]
Now I'm not trying to get heavy with you.
I'll mind my own business if you want me to.
But I love you girl, I don't love no one else.
I'm just telling you baby 'cause I've been there myself.
