about

Debut single by Vlado Nosal & The Avedons, a band led by former frontman of the leading Slovak indie rock band Queer Jane. It marks yet another international collaboration with Nosal being joined by a multiple Grammy-nominated producer, Ken Coomer (Wilco, Sheryl Crow, Billy Bragg, Al Green) and a frequent associate, Boo Hewerdine. The song’s lyrics can be seen both as an ode to escapism and a tongue-in-cheek reaction to today’s troubled world, mentioning “an awful lot of people in heaven”, who “couldn’t get a room in hell”.

lyrics

I love a cold cigarette the first thing in the morning
I love to hear the voices in my head
I love to watch bad movies until it gets very early
and write a song after you have gone to bed

and I know
I’m all ready to go
and I know
I don’t wanna go I don’t wanna know

I love a hot water whenever I seek some comfort
I hate the sound of motorbikes passing by
there is a warm bonus in feeling extra lonely
and you should know you’ll never know unless you try

and I know
I’m all ready to go
and I know
I don’t wanna go I don’t wanna know

and my god says I need to suffer
and my brothers have never had enough
but I might, I just might

I admire your braveness, you always read the paper
and look at both sides of the coins from wishing well
don’t it make you wonder there's still an awful lot of people in heaven
I would suspect they couldn’t get a room in hell

and I know
i’m all ready to go
and I know
i don’t wanna go i don’t wanna know

I love a cold cigarette
I love a cold cigarette
