Thread Name: ADD: The Man Who Puffs The Big Cigar (Rosselson)
Subject: Lyr Req: The Man Who Puffs The Big Cigar
Someone could help me with the lyrics for Leon Rosselson song "The Man Who Puffs The Big Cigar"?

There's an old topic about this song, but the lyrics was not posted full.

Thanks!

The man who puffs the big cigar (Leon Rosselson)

The man who puffs the big cigar
Turns all he touches into stone
The cash flows in (from here and far)
When he picks up the telephone
The value of his proporty increases daily no one knows
How much (owns) and (?) (schemes)
The more (buys) the more it seems
There's no limit to his dreams
(And) (?) (the market booms) (empire growns)

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

The man who puffs the big cigar
Turns all he touches into stone
The cash flows in (from here and far)
When he picks up the telephone
And Eros to belong to him
And all the land from miles around
He (buys) (the man who clear the way)
(?) (the plans) (to make it pay)
He has no time for yesterday
His deals (?) and his (investments sound)

Susie, (?)
Oh Susie just ignores
(their looks she knows they cannot buy this lady)
She walks the (?) in (?) dress
(Self contained) self (?)
And in her heart a secret (there hears)
A message from the man who flies the high trapeze,
A message from a thousand miles away
Telling her to meet him as she always used to do
By the statue of Eros, on (?) summer's day

The man who puffs the big cigar
Turns all he touches into stone
The cash flows in (from here and far)
When he picks up the telephone
Now all around Eros towers rise
And concrete slabs that black the sun
And carefully he calculates
The profit he expects to make
From (?) (square) (for) (?) (state)
(?)

Susie, why are you looking so afraid
You'll know he'll keep the vow he made
The time has come and gone, it won't be easy
To find him and this concrete maze
Walls and railings bar the way
As if she's lost in space she wanders on
Looking for the man who flies the high trapeze,
But he could be a thousand miles away
And (?) by the traffic in the distant (out of reach)
The statue of Eros, (?) summer's day

The man who puffs the big cigar
Turns all he touches into stone
The cash flows in (from here and far)
When he picks up the telephone
(?) (mansion) (?)
(Priceless pictures on the walls)
And he picks up the phone
And starts to turn the wheels
(?) (for broken hearts)
(?) (dividends for all)
