Lyrics;
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

Not this song: Wikipedia ""If I Was" is a 1985 song by Midge Ure. It was co-written by Ure and Danny Mitchell (of Ultravox's tour opening band Messengers), and released as the first single from Ure's first solo album The Gift. It reached #1 on the UK singles chart for one week in September 1985.[1] In the sleeve notes for the 2001 compilation If I Was: The Very Best of Midge Ure & Ultravox Ure wrote: "This song is pure Danny Mitchell. I found a demo of it on a cassette Danny had sent me for his band The Messengers. I grabbed it with both hands, messed around with it, sprinkled it with fairy dust and the rest is history." Ure played all instruments on the song except bass guitar, which was played by Mark King of Level 42."

I am turning 58 shortly. So grateful for the amazing variety of music I enjoyed during my teenage years; what an amazing variation of different artists/styles. I worked in engineering but changed carreer in 2022 and now drive a school bus - I tell my young passengers about the summer of 1983 when my cheap Raleigh bicycle and equally cheap Toshiba radio-cassette recorder provided all the entertainment I needed; long 20 mile+ cycles and home to great music recorded off the radio. No social media or FOMO. Despite some difficulties growing up as a teenager, especially in school and during my Leaving Cert year; the music sustained me. My 20 year old niece also loves this music. I play this stuff in my bus when taking the kids to school and it would be the greatest pleasure if I could convince even one of my young passengers to listen to music from this decade. The '80s were not perfect but times were simpler and there was more social interaction. Nowadays, you cannot even talk to a human when trying to phone a bank or a public service. Would love a time machine!

Beautiful lyrics. They really don't write songs like this anymore. I miss the 80s for music and movies. A simpler time without mobile phones and Internet. When people would sit in a pub in a crowd and interact with each other rather than a square device that they can't put down for 2 seconds. I'm at a loss the amount of times I see people out together but they would as well be alone because everyone is more interested in their mobile phones than what's actually happening around them or in front of them.

This song reminds me of working in Smiths Menswear in High St Edinburgh in the 80s and 90s always was playing over the stereo in shop! Love Midge Ure, very under rated artist and Bob Geldof got all the awards and gratitudes for Live Aid when it was both him and Midge Ure that done it together! But Midge Ure being the man he is stood back and let Bob take the fame and glory! Midge Ure is a Beatifull man and the loveliest man you could ever meet with a heart of gold! Still a hero of mine at the age of 53 years old, for 40 years he's been a part of my life to this day, must listen to him at least once a week still! Thanks Midge ♥️🇬🇧

It was late 1985 when I first heard this. I’d just graduated from college & was at my first job in a mid sized city along the US/Mexican border. I was just starting off, working my ass off & broke as hell, but having the time of my life. This song makes feel 25 & invincible again….which means, “If I Was” is more than song-it’s magic.

There’s something wrong when I saw this video only has 2.2 million views,but now I see it’s only less than 4 years old from (July 2020) How can such a popular song from the 80s only have official music video almost 40 years after his release?

One of my favourite songs of my childhood. Still love it today. I didn’t realise until recently that Midge was in Ultravox who sang Vienna, another legendary song. But then again Midge is a legend having also written Do They Know it’s Christmas.

One of my favourites from the 1980s. I must say that I also love the video. Those images with that device with the moving metal roads. That was brilliant! I wonder if the CGI artists were inspired by this device when they imagined the (floating) Kryptonian computer monitors in the Man of Steel movie (2013).

I vividly remember me and my dad in the kitchen of august 2012 (I would’ve been 3) and the chorus of this song came on while I was looking for spaghetti and the song got stuck in my head for months before I forgot it and one month ago I remembered this chorus and remembered that time in the kitchen and tried to remember the words but could not and after many failed attempts to guess them into google I finally got the correct words and here I am thank god

The dancing and hand gestures are creepy and cringey. What is the motion when he says "If I was her lover" supposed to suggest (2:22) ? I cant fathom it. I get the soldier bit, pretending to shoot a gun, the poet bit, pretending to write a poem....but the lover ? what is he doing ? some reverse fisting ? would love to know

Nice tune and I have much respect for Midge Ure with 'Live Aid' in 1984-1985. That stated..... unlike 'Vienna' (1981) by 'Ultravox', I am unable to make out the words here. Before any disparaging replies are written, I have picked things up in music which others miss. Anyway, it is a shame as they are delightful lyrics now that I have read through them.

1987, I was a senior in high school. Borrowed this cassette when it came out from friends who were punk rockers (twins). Mind you, Midge was already a legend with Ultra Vox and the Band Aide days, so it was natural to follow his solo work. This song will always reflect my last few months of my high school days and the mighty 80s with enduring memories.
