a new england - 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 you grow up to be a man
but all the girls I loved at school are already pushing prams

i loved you then as I love you still
tho I put you on a pedestal,
they put you 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
i'm just looking for another girl
i don't want 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 satellites
is it 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
i'm just looking for another girl
