A New England (acoustic version)  Billy Bragg
[Verse]
GI was twenty one years when I wrote this song
Im Dtwenty two now, but I Emwont be for long
CPeople ask me when will you Ggrow up to be a man
But all the Dgirls I loved at school
Are alCready pushing praGms
GI loved you then as I love you still
Though I Dput you on a pedestal
They Emput you on the pill
I dCont feel bad about Gletting you go
I jDust feel sad about Cletting you know
[Chorus]
CI dont want to change the Gworld
Im not looking for a new EmEngland
Im just Clooking for another Bmgirl  
CI don’t want to change the Gworld
Im not looking for a new EmEngland
Im just Clooking for another Ggirl
[Verse]
GI loved the words you wrote to me
But Dthat was bloody Emyesterday
I cCant survive on Gwhat you send
EveDry time you Cneed a frienGd
GI saw two shooting stars last night
DI wished on them but Emthey were only satellites
CIts wrong to wish on Gspace hardware
I Dwish, I wish, I Cwish you’d care
[Chorus]
CI dont want to change the wGorld
Im not looking for a new EmEngland
Im just Clooking for another Bmgirl  
CI dont want to change the Gworld
Im not looking for a new EmEngland
Im just Clooking for another Ggirl
[Outro]
CLooking for another Ggirl
CLooking for another Ggirl
CLooking for another Ggirl
