a new england

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

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
