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 and 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

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 girl 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
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…
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…
