Billy Bragg’s New England<\/i><\/p>\n
I was twenty one years when I wrote this song
\nI’m twenty two now, but I won’t be for long
\nPeople ask when will you grow up to be a man
\nBut all the girls I loved at school
\nare already pushing prams<\/p>\n
I loved you then as I love you still
\nTho I put you on a pedestal,
\nThey put you on the pill
\nI don’t feel bad about letting you go
\nI just feel sad about letting you know<\/p>\n
I don’t want to change the world
\nI’m not looking for a new England
\nI’m just looking for another girl
\nI don’t want to change the world
\nI’m not looking for a new England
\nI’m just looking for another girl<\/p>\n
I loved the words you wrote to me
\nBut that was bloody yesterday
\nI can’t survive on what you send
\nEvery time you need a friend<\/p>\n
I saw two shooting stars last night
\nI wished on them but they were only satellites
\nIs it wrong to wish on space hardware
\nI wish, I wish, I wish you’d care<\/p>\n
I don’t want to change the world
\nI’m not looking for a new England
\nI’m just looking for another girl <\/p>\n
I really like this song. I only discovered him at the Fleadh a couple of weeks ago and caught a bit of the set at Glastonbury. He did this live and it was fantastic. Really hit home and so I picked up a collection. Note to self, finish Glasto posting.<\/p>\n
I’m reading Generation X by Douglas Coupland and I’ve not identified with anything as much in a long long time. I’ll post more on this at some stage. Tomorrow in work most likely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
