Lyrics:

Name A NEW ENGLAND

Interpret Billy Bragg

Jahr 1983

Schreib'r Bragg



I was twentyone years when I wrote this song

I'm twentytwo now, but I won't be for long

People ask me 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

'Tho I put you on a pedastal, they put you on the pill

I don't feel bad about letting you go

I just feel bad 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 loved the words you wrote to me

But that was bloody yesterday

I can't survive on what you send

Everytime you need a friend



I saw two shooting stars last night

I wished on them but that were only satellites

Is it wrong to wish on space hardare?

I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care
