Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Man Who Puffs the Big Cigar
Subject: RE: Song about Suzie (Eliza Sings?)
Would it be Leon Rosselson's "The Man Who Puffs the Big Cigar"? The first refrain goes:- Susie, a stripper in a Soho club, She works long hours but not for love And when men see her body they go crazy. But she just smiles in her heart, And keeps herself a soul apart And in her room at night she dreams alone. For Suzie loves the man who flies the high trapeze, He's flying now a thousand miles away. But she knows one day she'll meet him as she always used to do. By the statue of Eros, on a bright summer's day.
If so see Leon's "Perspectives" CD Fuse CFCD006 (1997)
