Songtexte A New England - John Peel Session, 27th July 1983 - Billy Bragg
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
