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

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.

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

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.
