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 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 girl80s ackjournal3003 acoustic aggressive Alt-country alt-rock alternative Alternative Folk alternative rock ambitious anti-folk avant-folk best songs ever Bittersweet boiseterous british british folk Cerebral class war Classic AOR classic rock college rock combat rock communist complex Confident contemporary folk cute earnest eighties england english Essex fav fave song favorites favourite Favourite Songs Favourites folk folk punk folk rock folk-rock indie indie folk indie rock John Peel Left of Center left wing leftist legends literate Love lovelovelove male male feminists male vocalist marxist mine new wave nosan nostalgic Passionate political political rock pop-folk Post punk post-punk pretty Protest protest-ish Provocative punk punk rock Quintessentially English real punk reds Reflective revolution rock seen live Self-Conscious shoegaze singer and songwriter singer songwriter Singer Songwriters singer-songwriter socialist Songs about England Songwriters Best Street-Smart summer04 88NC talking with the taxman about true punk UK Uncompromising urban folk witty worker songs working class punk
