| A New England (w: Billy Bragg, m: Billy Bragg/GYLBOTS) I was 21 years when I wrote this song I am 22 now but I won't be for long People ask me "when will you grow up to be a man When all the girls you loved at school are already pushing prams?" I loved you then and I love you still Though I put you on a pedestal they put you on the pill I don't feel sad about letting you go I just feel bad about letting you know I'm not trying 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 satelites Is it wrong to wish on space hardware? I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care I'm not trying to change the world, I'm not looking for a new England I'm just looking for another girl |
