New England Lyrics - Billy Bragg

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
