Before Noel said "The title's a joke. The whole song's a joke. I was laughing to myself writing it. I played it to the band and I thought they'd laugh. We played it live and thought we'd get canned off, but suddenly everybody's going "This is a great politican rant and it sums up the last 15 years of the Tory government". I'm sorry man, but I don't see it. The whole thing is meant to be ironic"
How is it funny/ironic? I don't get it...

all you need to know about cigs and alcohol, is that it is an absolute full on, stomping, mega rock and roll tune... the rest is not important.

The fact that people think its some important political statement when in reality, its just Noel goofing off, makes it funny & ironic. Atleast, tis my take on it.

Is it my imagination, or I have I found something worth living for?
Brilliant.

maybe he says it's ironic cos Noel has written many non sense songs or songs about drugs, and people see other meanings on them. I'm with queenoasis

He's talking about the song itself being ironic, not people's reaction. "It's meant to be ironic." How?

I think he just wrote a song about getting pissed and now he tries to but some other sense into it
