a new england

The Ataris

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
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 just looking for another girl
I don?t want to change the world
I?m not looking for a new England
I?m just looking for another girl

I loved the words you wrote to me
But that was blood 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 just looking for another girl
