hey everyone, i actually spoke to Gary !!! the guy is amazing, i got his mobile number frm his website and i really DID NOT EXPECT to talk to him. And you know what? HE ACTUALLY ANSWERED THE CALL HIMSELF, AMAZING AMAZING DEEP VOICE !! But a bad news, He said the Video of this song was untraceable...sad!! But anyways i am on cloud nine after talking to him. Such a DECENT AND DOWN TO EARTH guy !! Spoke very politely to a stranger. He also asked me abt my general well being. God Bless you gary.
The song was aired in India, 15-16 yrs ago, as an anti cigaratte campaign. Loved the song in the first time only. Always wondered the singer with such a melodious voice, and wanted to hear the full song. And it's here today. :). Thnx for upload
Wow........Gary is one of his kind.......... his voice and singing was top class....... he was ahead of his time, at least in India........great artists, but unfortunately market was not ready for him, but success.should be known by ones talent and he was among the top singers in the world in that genre. Hats off to this India's great singer and musician!!
Cigarette in my hand This song is by Gary Lawyer. I remember the time, I had my first hook Try it just once, friends gently provoked Friends told me yes, light a ciggy for a start You would like the fire in a pretty girls laugh With a cigarette in my hand I felt like a man Cigarette in my hand I felt like a man My hero look so right With a cigarette on his lips Could I go wrong if I follow his tips On the job I learnt a thing or two Cigarette had a place in every work day too Cigarette started every hour of my day Couldn't get out of the habit, no way With a cigarette in my hand I felt like a man Cigarette in my hand I felt like a man. In moments that were a little a lonesome, Cigarette and I were happy twosome Cigarette slowly became my crunch Energy and stamina are lost very much Until one day I couldn't on my feet Smoke made me feel real dead meat Then I realized I have paid a price. With a cigarette in my hand, I was a dead man.
Hello Everybody... I just spoke to him... He is humility personified! Can't believe that a personality par excellence can be so grounded!!! It was as if I was in a trance while he was speaking because his voice mesmerized me to the core. Legends are legends and will remain so... I just had my fan-boy moment albeit telephonically...!!!!
Growing up I used to see Gary a lot on his bike. He used to live on Pedder Road....awesome voice. This used to feature a lot on DD in the late 80's/early 90's!! thanks a million
I am familiar with some sections of this song as it used to played in Anti-smoking ads all the time on Doordarshan in the late 1980s or early 90s. Gary Lawyer has a great voice and his songs have a Universal appeal.
The fun fact about me - this is the first English song I memorized and sang in the bathroom at the loudest voice when i was a kid not knowing the meaning but the song felt like a magic. I am glad I got this video and found the singer.
Reminds me of an old friend who just picked the line "Cigarette in my hand, I felt like a man" and wrote an essay in English test and was admonished ... Today he is not around (it was not smoke, but Indian railways that killed him) .. But the song still reminds me of him, and what star plus etc were back in the 90s ...
thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you UPLOADER Thanks sooooooooo much for the song....lokking for it since looooooon time.....thank you so much. And thankyou Gary if ur reading this. This song and the video are the reasons why i dont smoke today. Can anyone get their hands on the video? please upload it, i want to show it to my son. Thanks all for the efforts.
Hi Shiv!! Thankssss a ton for this video! I was searching for this song for sooooo long! Had last heard it when i was 10 years old way back in '93-94 on zee tv! thanks a lot once again!!! :)
A cigarette in my hand, I felt like a man.................A cigarette in my hand...I am a dead man. Listen to this beautifully sung song by Gary Lawyer, which I remember very well it was shown on Doordarshan TV in the 80's sometime, with the anti-smoking visuals sponsored by the Govt. of India. Does anyone remember?
He (the way he has rendered "with a Cigarette in my Hand") is probably the reason I have such aversion for any kind of narcotic-malpractice.☺. The essence of this song got into my head and sunk into my subconcience when I was 5-6 years old (thanks to repeated telecast on Doordarshan). This is how you make a child assimilate the ramification of a bad habit...write a song and make Gary Lawyer sing it.

Great Song i first saw it in DD National and was searching this song finally my search ended here!!!!Lovely...
Childhood memories . Those good old days when there was quality in songs.
Wow. I remember this campaign vividly when I was young. What a voice
What a fine composition sung flawlessly by a haunting voice! After centuries I want to become a fan of somebody!! Mr. Lawyer is cosmic material!
Gary Lawyer..what a voice..
Sir u just remembered the old days
Cigarette in my hand
This song is by Gary Lawyer.
I remember the time, I had my first hook
Try it just once, friends gently provoked
Friends told me yes, light a ciggy for a start
You would like the fire in a pretty girls laugh
With a cigarette in my hand I felt like a man
Cigarette in my hand I felt like a man
My hero look so right
With a cigarette on his lips
Could I go wrong if I follow his tips
On the job I learnt a thing or two
Cigarette had a place in every work day too
Cigarette started every hour of my day
Couldn't get out of the habit, no way
With a cigarette in my hand I felt like a man
Cigarette in my hand I felt like a man.
In moments that were a little a lonesome,
Cigarette and I were happy twosome
Cigarette slowly became my crunch
Energy and stamina are lost very much
Until one day I couldn't on my feet
Smoke made me feel real dead meat
Then I realized I have paid a price.
With a cigarette in my hand, I was a dead man.

I think this song for iit students
@mathurshiv Apparently someone has a copy of the original
/watch?v=VGkzJLmUC0o Here is a 1min clip of the song.
He voiced like Mark knopfer
I strongly feel Gary Lawyer's voice very closely matches Edwyn Collins (ruclips.net/video/iYFz4pKclyA/видео.html ). Who else feels that?
