Kirsty MacColl New England Lyrics

I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song
Im twenty-two now, but I wont 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 dont feel bad about letting you go
I just feel sad about letting you know

I dont want to change the world
Im not looking for a new england
Are you looking for another girl

I loved the words you wrote to me
But that was b_____ yesterday
I cant 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
Its wrong to wish on s___e hardware
I wish, I wish, I wish youd care

I dont want to change the world
Im 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 didnt ring, I knew it wasnt you

I dont want to change the world
Im not looking for a new england
Are you looking for another girl
