Might just be my ear, but the line "on life and living" sounds more like "on life and liver" to me. It'd chime with the subject matter and sounds like the kind of half-rhyme Guy Garvey might slip into a line like that.
As for the song, I like how the two halves contrast. The more complicated, spiky lyric of Fly Boy Blue and then the simplicity of Lunette, musing on the relative comforts of cigarettes, alcohol and a girl's neck. The subject matter is so simple and yet he finds so much beauty in them. The first verse of Lunette almost makes me want to take up smoking. I won't, though.
