Young Rebel Set – If I Was (2009)

If I was

If I was a sailor I would sail you out to sea 
Take you across the ocean, ask you to marry me 
Oh if I was sailor I would sail you home to me 
And if I was a soldier I would march to war for you 
I’d face every bullet and cannonball that flew 
Oh if I was a soldier I would wage a war for you 
And if I was a rich man I’d buy you flowers every day 
But I am a poor man so I’ll pick them on the way 
Oh if I was a rich man I would pay to make you to stay. 

I’ve wasted so much time 
Writing songs and playing on my guitar 
I’ve wasted so much love 
Now I wish I’d never learnt to play a note. 

And if I had an aeroplane then I’d fly you away 
Maybe we go to Rome or Paris for the day 
Oh if I had an aeroplane then I’d whisk you away 
And if I was a betting man I’d bet you love me too 
I’d bet everything I had for the chance to be with you 
Oh if I was a betting man my odds are 9-2. 

I’ve wasted so much time 
Writing songs and playing on my guitar 
I’ve wasted so much love 
Now I wish I’d never learnt to play a note 
Yeah I wish I’d never learnt to play a note 
Oh I wish I’d never learnt to play a note. 

I’ve wasted so much time 
Writing songs and playing on my guitar 
I’ve wasted so much love 
Oh I wish I’d never learnt to play a note. 

And if I was a writer I would write the book on you 
I’d tell them all the stories of the things we used to do 
Oh if I was a writer I would write the book on you 
And if I was a painter I’d paint portraits of you 
Hang them in the galleries like all good painter do 
Oh if I was a painter I’d paint potraits of you. 

I’ve wasted so much time 
Writing songs and playing on my guitar 
I’ve wasted so much love 
Now I wish I’d never learnt to play a note 
Yeah I wish I’d never learnt to play a note 
Oh I wish I’d never learnt to play a note.

El cantante de Young Rebel Set, Matt Chipchase, acaba de fallecer. Todavía no hay detalles de la causa de su muerte. Pero nuestros pensamientos están con su familia, amigos y los otros miembros de la banda en este momento tan triste. La banda acababa de reformarse y tenían programado tocar en Teesside y en Alemania. RIP Matt!!!!

Young Rebel Set se formó en Stockton-on-Tees (Noreste de Inglaterra, Reino Unido) en 2007. If I was, se grabó en 2009 y la incluimos en una de nuestras primeras playlists, en julio de 2010.
