If I was a better man
Would fellow men take me to their hearts
If I was a stronger man
Carrying the weight of popular demand
Tell me would that alarm her
I'd never harm her at all
If I was a soldier
Captive arms I'd lay before her
If I was a sailor
Seven oceans I'd sail to her
If I was a wiser man
Would other men reach out and touch me
If I was a kinder man
Dishing up love for a hungry world
Tell me would that appease her
I want to please her again
If I was a painter
I'd paint a world that couldn't taint her
If I was a leader
On food of love from above I would feed her
If I was a poet
All my love in burning words I would show it
If I was her lover
Her eyes in kisses I would cover
Come here my baby
Oh they can't touch you now
I'll keep you safe and warm
I'll never leave you at all
Come here my baby
Oh they won't touch you
Dishing up love for a hungry world
Tell me would that appease you
I want to please you again
If I was a soldier
Captive arms I'd lay before her
If I was a sailor
Seven oceans I'd sail to her
If I was a painter
I'd paint a world that couldn't taint her
If I was a leader
On food of love from above I would feed her
If I was a poet
All my love in burning words I would show it - Hudba
I remember actually watching this on Totp in late 85, hearing the host say November just makes me wanna say Hay please don't rush though this amazing year or the 80s itself coz your never get it back. Happy days. 85 was an excellent year for music. In 2 years time this song will be 40 years old. Mad Hay. Never forgotten the 80s, I'm still there in spirit.
Midge is a massively underrated musician with an incredible voice.
I do agree with your statement
Agree with you!
1986 I was 19, I’d been dating the prettiest girl from my school for 4 years. Remember this playing in Playa de Las Americas in a club in Tenerife, when we were on holiday. Still one of my happiest memories.
Great great song midge...midge and ultravox were a really understated band...i'll never forget hearing vienna when i was only 15 ish...fantastic as this is..👍 🤜🤛
Absolutely romantic. A great musician who has been underrated.
Superb midge ure romantic song ❤
Still here in 2020. Oh the memories of Midge and Ultravox Vienna, if i was back able to go back to the 80s. Nostalgia❤️
He's lipsyncing here but saw him perform at a small local venue earlier this year. He was self-deprecating about his voice but it sounded very close to the recordings 40 years ago. Magical.
TO ALL THAT AGREE WITH ME MANY MANY THANKS. UNFORTUNATLY AS LONG AS MIDGE IS ABLE TO DO SMALLER GIGS I'D BE PREPAIRED TO TAKE A CHANCE TO SEE HIM AGAIN, POSSIBILITY MAY GET A PASS. DAUGHTER STOPPED DRIVING TO LOOK AFTER ME. SHE WAS ONLY 4YRS OLD @TIME.
MIDGE PICKED HER UP & SAID CAN I HAVE LICK OF YOUR ICE CREAM. I SAID YES SURE & BLESS HIM, HE DID. BUT I WISH I COULD SEE HIM AGAIN

Fantastic song “if I was a sailor, seven oceans I’d sail to her”
We were very fortunate to have experienced this music. This will never happen again, ever. You know what I'm talking about.
For me still one of the best songs ever!
YEEEEEESSSSSSSS
Gentleman 👍
I absolutely loved this song when it came in 1985. I was in the fifth form in school at the time out but couldn't find a single other person who was struck by it. Looking at the comments here I'm glad to know I wasn't alone.
fact gasm my favourite from 1985 too I was 10
It ( .. and most of Midge's work.. ) is beautiful musical mastery. All the best for 2020! Eddie.
I always remember cruising around on holiday in Suffolk in England in my cousins Alfa Sud and hearing this for the first time. I still have the mix tape I made on that holiday in 1985!
What was wrong with all those people?!!
Superb midge ure and the gift tour was great saw him at man Chester apollo all them years ago 😅
Best decade ever the 80s happy memories
I totally love this man's music. He was totally awesome in Ultravox and again in his solo career. If I was is my favourite song. I totally love the man Sam it's too bad he's married
A PURE POP JEWEL ... MASTERPIECE
I never knew about this song until I heard it on Spotify 2 weeks ago, and I grew up in the 80`s! Loved this song from the first time I heard it! Awesome voice and lyrics...

This takes me back to 1986 when having bought a run down house, we were living in a building site for about 3 months, music like this got us through it. :-)
Балдею от этой песни. Сотый раз переслушиваю.

Hello how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here.
This is a subject that raises eyebrows, because we don't want some unknown person ruining this, with stupid rap lyrics, and taking all the credit for this song...
great clever song from Midge...
Absolutely brilliant
ànd beautiful
I was a teenager in 80's. Now is second decade of XXI century.
I can die... without of regret...
That statement says it all!!! I’d love to loop this tune forever

Always loved this song from the moment I herd it and I still love it today regards James Londondale

This is such a good song. They should play it some time....they never do. Great cheekbones by the way😍
I would kill for those cheekbones! Also, "If I was a painter, I'd paint a world that wouldn't taint her.". The most beautiful, romantic lyric I've ever heard ❤️
Hermosa voz y guapísimo
💕
this is epic
The fantastic Midge Ure!
Mmm mmmm yes Midge, paint me, feed me, cover my eyes in kisses!
Indeed, there is evil in the world and they are those who give a thumbs down to this song.
romantyk ❤
🇵🇱cute melody 🌷🌷🌷
Love him ....
Hello how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here.
Stil a nice song
Memories from greek island 80s !!!
Классная вещица, из моей молодости.
Along with Vienna , probably cemented his voice as in the best of the eighties , add U2 , Duran duran ABC , Kim wilde etc etc etc and you can see musical genius.
Briljant nummer!
It is biutiful
💟
❤❤❤
Love Midge and I've loved this song since the first time I heard it in '85. Haven't seen this video in forever, but after watching it again I can see where Rick Astley got his dance moves. :-D
classic eighties pop
Nice Song And Video
12” version mix is good too..When the Winds blow another great track of The Gift
THAT CERTAIN SMILE ist absolutely phantastic!!!
james (midge) is a very talented amazing big hearted legend hes also very underrated he has sung some very romantic and powerful songs hes a genius this is a beautiful song
Why i don' t meet a man like Midge? What a pain
Uwielbiam
What a darling
the one and only
Verdaderamente él es un heroe de la vida real. Hojalá la gente lo tuviese más en cuenta por todo lo que hizo.
We were all so dorky when we danced back in the day. I have to laugh but still we were awesome
If i was...
The greatest song that is after being sequestered for whatever reason destined to any glorious mix from now to the end of time as we know it.
Banger ❤️
I am from gen z and i listen this one all the time
Fancy
Piękne!
Nice mixing of video and overdub
Let's all dance like this ...
Love him and he's brilliant in concert.xx
Piękne
For my lovely mother❤
Si j'étais un homme meilleur
If I was a better man
Est-ce que mes semblables me prendraient dans leur cœur
Would fellow men take me to their hearts
Si j'étais un homme plus fort
If I was a stronger man
Porter le poids de la demande populaire
Carrying the weight of popular demand
Dis-moi est-ce que ça l'alarmerait
Tell me would that alarm her
Je ne lui ferais jamais de mal
I'd never harm her at all
Si j'étais un soldat
If I was a soldier
Bras captifs que je poserais devant elle
Captive arms I'd lay before her
Si j'étais marin
If I was a sailor
Sept océans je naviguerais vers elle
Seven oceans I'd sail to her
Si j'étais un homme plus sage
If I was a wiser man
Est-ce que d'autres hommes tendraient la main et me toucheraient
Would other men reach out and touch me
Si j'étais un homme plus gentil
If I was a kinder man
Servir de l'amour pour un monde affamé
Dishing up love for a hungry world
Dis-moi est-ce que ça l'apaiserait
Tell me would that appease her
je veux encore lui faire plaisir
I want to please her again
Si j'étais peintre
If I was a painter
Je peindrais un monde qui ne pourrait pas la souiller
I'd paint a world that couldn't taint her
Si j'étais un chef
If I was a leader
De la nourriture de l'amour d'en haut je la nourrirais
On food of love from above I would feed her
Si j'étais poète
If I was a poet
Tout mon amour et mes mots brûlants je le montrerais
All my love and burning words I would show it
Si j'étais son amant
If I was her lover
Je couvrirais ses yeux de baisers
Her eyes in kisses I would cover
Viens ici mon bébé
Come here my baby
Oh ils ne peuvent pas te toucher maintenant
Oh they can't touch you now
Je te garderai en sécurité et au chaud
I'll keep you safe and warm
Je ne te quitterai jamais du tout
I'll never leave you at all
Viens ici mon bébé
Come here my baby
Oh ils ne te toucheront pas
Oh they won't touch you
Servir de l'amour pour un monde affamé
Dishing up love for a hungry world
Dis-moi est-ce que ça t'apaiserait
Tell me would that appease you.....
And that following November I saw him at the Crawley hawth. Great gig.
