A New England



New England Lyrics
Artist(Band):Billy Bragg
Review The Song (1)Print the Lyrics

I just wanted to post this for the record of things, It's just a Billy Bragg song that I have a certain affection for that I kind of think applies very closely to shall we say certain events and motives that I have both now and previously lived through. Call it an anthem of life if you will...hell call it xandoutrgerty if that serves your taste...I don't care...it's personal...And I leave it open to interpretation to those who think they may be up to the challenge. Go for it


"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
(Looking for another girl)
(Looking for another girl)
(Looking for another gi-rl)"
