Sparks are an American rock and pop music band formed in Los Angeles in 1970 by brothers Ron Mael (keyboards) and Russell Mael (vocals), initially under the name Halfnelson. Best known for their quirky approach to song writing, Sparks' music is often accompanied by cutting and acerbic lyrics, and an idiosyncratic stage presence, typified in the contrast between Russell's wide-eyed hyperactive frontman antics and Ron's sedentary scowling.
The band's long career has seen them successfully adopt many different musical genres; including glam pop

FmC Not every cigarette is a dead, dead thing Fm Some have a mind and try to be other things C Pushed in the pack, they crave some Virginia air Fm Softly, they pray to someone, but life ain't fair
Fm They're born to lose, they're born to fill Bb The lungs of Jack, the lungs of Jill CFm And like I said life just isn't fair
FmCFmCFmG#BbC Nicotina, Nicotina, Nicotina is her name
Once in a while a cigarette has a name N-I-C-O-T-I-N-A, that's her name She had a tiny voice, and she sang all day She was a cigarette, but she loved to play
Nicotina, Nicotina, Nicotina is her name
FmCFmC A man with a cough stepped to the machine FmCD#G Dropped coins in the slot, the end of a dream
He ripped the pack and coughed, and then coughed again Popped out a cigarette, and we're near the end She screamed and screamed but so much was filtered out Now Nicotina's only a tiny cloud
Fm Nicotina's gone, but life goes on though Bb Nicotina's gone, but life goes on though FmCFm Nicotina's gone, but life goes on and on and on and on and on Nicotina, Nicotina, Nicotina was her name
