KIRSTY MACCOLL - A New England lyrics

rate me

(billy bragg)<br><br>I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song<br>I'm twenty-two now, but I won't be for long<br>People ask me when will I grow up to understand<br>Why the girls I knew at school are already pushing prams<br><br>I loved you then as I love you still<br>Though I put you on a pedestal, you put me on the pill<br>I don't feel bad about letting you go<br>I just feel sad about letting you know<br><br>I don't want to change the world<br>I'm not looking for a new england<br>Are you looking for another girl<br><br>I loved the words you wrote to me<br>But that was bloody yesterday<br>I can't survive on what you send<br>Every time you need a friend<br><br>I saw two shooting stars last night<br>I wished on them, but they were only satellites<br>It's wrong to wish on space hardware<br>I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care<br><br>I don't want to change the world<br>I'm not looking for a new england<br>Are you looking for another girl<br><br>My dreams were full of strange ideas<br>My mind was set despite the fears<br>But other things got in the way<br>I never asked that boy to stay<br><br>Once upon a time at home<br>I sat beside the telephone<br>Waiting for someone to pull me through<br>When at last it didn't ring, I knew it wasn't you<br><br>I don't want to change the world<br>I'm not looking for a new england<br>Are you looking for another girl
