A New England
Kirsty MacColl
(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 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 It's 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 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 girl80s alt pop battre begagnat beautiful billy bragg cover british Cheering Classic AOR classic tracks cover covers Favourites Femal Vocalists female female vocal female vocalists folk folk-rock geography golden oldies good cover versions gurgleblast happy happy being sad If AlmostReady had a radio sta kenny everett classics Kirsty MacColl new wave padroeira top 5 pop rock seminal 80s singer songwriter social conscience stiff uk-misc upbeat
