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

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 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?

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 your 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 girl?

I don't want to

change the world

I'm not looking

for a New England

are you looking

for another?

I don't want to

change the world

I'm not looking

for a New England

are you looking

for another girl?

Looking for another girl

looking for another girl

looking for another girl...

girl.....

girl.....
