lyrics

Finer Man


If I were a finer man I’d have settled down by now
I’d have left you when the sun was up
And returned before it downed

If I were a finer man I’d have returned after work
I’d have sat you on the throne of home
And placed the slipper on your foot

If I were a finer man I’d have held on so tight
To your hand in the heady days of summer
And those frosty winter nights

Chorus

A finer man don’t long to be alone
A finer man’d have no regrets
And warmth down in his bones.

If I were a finer man I’d have shown you the glories of love
I’d have taken you to the heights of heaven
And the warm embrace of God.

If I were a finer man I’d have put the bottle down
I’d have never let you go out at night
And have never left you alone

A finer man don’t suffer no fools
He walks in pride and ardour
And knows the right things to do

And if I were a finer man I’d have punched that bastard out
For making eyes across the bar
I’d have left him in no doubt

If I were a finer man I’d have let you go
To a finer man that came along
And not the guy that you’re with now
