Billy Bragg
A New England [early version]
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 you grow up and be a man?"
All the girls I loved at school are already pushing prams
Well, I loved you then as I love you still
Though I put you on a pedestal, they put you on a pill
I don't feel sad about letting you go
I just feel bad about letting you know
I don't wanna change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
I'm just looking for another girl
I don't wanna change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
I'm just looking for another girl
I loved the words you said 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 wanna change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
I'm just looking for another girl
I don't wanna change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
I'm just looking for another girl
Looking for another girl
Looking for another girl
Looking for another girl
Yeah
