The Rifles - A New England Lyrics

The Rifles Lyrics

"A New England"

I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song
I'm twenty-two now, but I won't be for long
People ask 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
Though I put you on a pedestal
They 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 looking for another girl
I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
I'm 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
Is it 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 looking for another girl
I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
I'm looking for another girl
I'm looking for another girl
I'm looking for another girl
I'm looking for another girl
