Billy Bragg A New England Lyrics

A New England Lyrics

I was twenty one years when I wrote this song
I'm twenty two now, but I won't
be for long
People ask when will you grow up to be a man
But all the girls
I loved at school
are already pushing prams

I loved you then as I love
you still
Tho I put you on a pedestal,
They put you on the pill
I don't
feel bad about letting you go
I just feel sad about letting you know

I
don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
I'm just
looking for another girl
I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking
for a new England
I'm just looking for another girl

I loved the words
you wrote to me
But that was bloody yesterday
I can't survive on what you
send
Every time you need a friend

I saw two shooting stars last
night
I wished on them but they were only satellites
Is it wrong to wish
on space hardware
I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care

I don't want to
change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
I'm just looking for
another girl
