kirsty maccoll – a 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 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 loved the words you wrote to me
but that was bl–dy 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 sp-ce 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
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
