- I discovered this song on an old tape the other night, and thought it
- was very much a theme song for me, and pretty appropriate for ARC...
- (author Midge Ure I believe)

- If I was
- --------
-
- If I was a better man, would fellow men take me to their heart
- 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 wiser man, would other men reach out and touch me?
- If I was a kinder man, wishing 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 take her
- If I was her 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 a lover, her eyes in kisses I would cover
-
- Come here my baby, 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
- Wishing up love for a hungry world
- Tell me would that appease you? I want to please you again
-
- If I was a soldier, captured arms I'd lay before her
- If I was a sailor, seven oceans I'd sail to her
- If I was a painter....
