    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

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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
