A New England Lyrics - Singles - Kirsty Maccoll

I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song 

I'm twenty-two now, but I won't be for long 

People ask me when will I grow up to understand 

Why the girls I knew at school are already pushing prams 

I loved you then as I love you still 

Though I put you on a pedestal, you put me 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 

Are you looking for another girl? 

I don't want to change the world 

I'm not looking for a new England 

Are you 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 

It's 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 

Are you looking for another girl? 

I don't want to change the world 

I'm not looking for a new England 

Are you looking for another girl? 

My dreams were full of strange ideas 

My mind was set despite the fears 

But other things got in the way 

I never asked that boy to stay 

Once upon a time at home 

I sat beside the telephone 

Waiting for someone to pull me through 

When at last it didn't ring, I knew it wasn't you 

I don't want to change the world 

I'm not looking for a new England 

Are you looking for another girl? 

I don't want to change the world 

I'm not looking for a new England 

Are you looking for another? 

I don't want to change the world 

I'm not looking for a new England 

Are you looking for another girl? 

Looking for another girl 

Looking for another girl 

Looking for another girl 

Girl, girl, girl
