In the synth-pop song, the protagonist makes assurances to the loved one - apparently separated from him - about what he would do for them if he had different professions that gave him certain skills (sailor, soldier, poet, painter, leader ).In the quieter bridge, he asks her to return to him.

I found a demo recording of it on a cassette Danny sent me for his band The Messengers. I grabbed it [the song] with both hands, played around with it, sprinkled it with fairy dust, and the rest is history.” - Midge Ure (In dem Synthie-Pop-Song macht der Protagonist der - offenbar von ihm getrennten - geliebten Person Zusicherungen, was er für sie tun würde, wenn er verschiedene Berufe hätte, die ihm bestimmte Fähigkeiten verliehen (Seemann, Soldat, Dichter, Maler, Anführer).

❤
Edinburgh women are cool😊
I ❤ Techno pop
Put some shoes on, mate!
Where can i buy this single from
Was hat Olli denn? Sieht doch fresh aus :D
❤🩶
Terrible time for music, but hilarious time for dancing.
The 80s was a terrible time for music?! You actually serious?!
@@dominewimbury2039 The pits! Crass and soulless. The 80s made Oasis look good. That takes some doing.
Super song, great singer( pity he was screwed over by Geldof …)
he felt like loosing his hair so he took the mustache off, why no shoes?that´s why when younger i never even bought magazines so i could judge only the music
Grammatically incorrect. It should be "If I were, not if I was."
So what?! 🙄
Gorgeous! And thank you so much for not messing with the ratio (Phew) !
❤❤
