(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 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 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 |
|
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 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 |
