New England

Bragg Billy

New England





I was twenty one years when I wrote this song


I'm twenty two now, but I won't be for long


People ask 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
