A New England lyrics

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

though 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

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

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

Looking for another girl

looking for another girl

looking for another girl...

Easy to set up, entertains the little ones by day and the adults by night.
