Kirsty MacColl lyrics : "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 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?
Girl?
