	Hefner songwriter Darren Hayman has eulogized alcohol, telephones, and Berlin in previous �Hymns,� and now he turns his attention to the Demon Tobacco. Indulging in a Proustian reverie, he sings, �Lucky Strikes remind me of my friends out on the West Coast/Camel Lights remind me of my ex-girlfriend at Christmastime.� We�ve all been there -- well, all of us who�ve smoked cigs at least. A languorous treat for fans of acid-etched pop and nicotine, but not recommended for those who�re trying to quit.
