A New England af Kirsty MacColl

  • 0:11 - 0:14
    I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song
  • 0:14 - 0:17
    I'm twenty-two now but I won't be for long
  • 0:17 - 0:20
    People ask me when will I grow up to understand
  • 0:20 - 0:26
    Why the girls I knew at school are already pushing prams
  • 0:26 - 0:28
    I loved you then as I love you still
  • 0:28 - 0:31
    Though I put you on a pedestal, you put me on the pill
  • 0:31 - 0:35
    I don't feel bad about letting you go
  • 0:35 - 0:40
    I just feel sad about letting you know
  • 0:40 - 0:43
    I don't want to change the world
  • 0:43 - 0:46
    I'm not looking for a new england
  • 0:46 - 0:52
    Are you looking for another girl
  • 0:52 - 0:55
    I don't want to change the world
  • 0:55 - 0:58
    I'm not looking for a new england
  • 0:58 - 1:05
    Are you looking for another girl
  • 1:05 - 1:08
    I loved the words you wrote to me
  • 1:08 - 1:11
    But that was bloody yesterday
  • 1:11 - 1:14
    I can't survive on what you send
  • 1:14 - 1:20
    Every time you need a friend
  • 1:20 - 1:23
    I saw two shooting stars last night
  • 1:23 - 1:26
    I wished on them, but they were only satellites
  • 1:26 - 1:29
    It's wrong to wish on space hardware
  • 1:29 - 1:34
    I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care
  • 1:34 - 1:37
    I don't want to change the world
  • 1:37 - 1:40
    I'm not looking for a new england
  • 1:40 - 1:46
    Are you looking for another girl
  • 1:46 - 1:49
    I don't want to change the world
  • 1:49 - 1:52
    I'm not looking for a new england
  • 1:52 - 2:14
    Are you looking for another girl
  • 2:14 - 2:17
    My dreams were full of strange ideas
  • 2:17 - 2:19
    My mind was set despite the fears
  • 2:19 - 2:23
    But other things got in the way
  • 2:23 - 2:29
    I never asked that boy to stay
  • 2:29 - 2:31
    Once upon a time at home
  • 2:31 - 2:35
    I sat beside the telephone
  • 2:35 - 2:37
    Waiting for someone to pull me through
  • 2:37 - 2:43
    When at last it did ring, I knew it wasn't you
  • 2:43 - 2:46
    I don't want to change the world
  • 2:46 - 2:49
    I'm not looking for a new england
  • 2:49 - 2:55
    Are you looking for another girl
  • 2:55 - 2:58
    I don't want to change the world
  • 2:58 - 3:01
    I'm not looking for a new england
  • 3:01 - 3:04
    Are you looking for another
  • 3:04 - 3:06
    I don't want to change the world
  • 3:06 - 3:09
    I'm not looking for a new england
  • 3:09 - 3:13
    Are you looking for another girl
  • 3:13 - 3:16
    Are you looking for another girl
  • 3:16 - 3:19
    Looking for another girl
  • 3:19 - 3:26
    Looking for another girl
  • 3:26 - 3:32
    Girl
  • 3:32 - 3:36
    Girl
