A New England

I was 21 years when I wrote this song

I'm 22 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 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 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, girl
