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)
