Or click here for Another version by Kate Nash – it is a pretty cool video

This song always reminds me of a short story I once wrote: “The Happy Colors.” http://tinyurl.com/c6h9x8

“A New England” lyrics by Billy Bragg

December 1984

I was twenty one years when I wrote this song
Im twenty two now, but I wont 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
Tho I put you on a pedestal,
They put you on the pill
I dont feel bad about letting you go
I just feel sad about letting you know

I dont want to change the world
Im not looking for a new England
Im just looking for another girl
I dont want to change the worldIm not looking for a new England
Im just looking for another girl

I loved the words you wrote to me
But that was bloody yesterday
I cant 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 youd care

I dont want to change the world
Im not looking for a new England
Im just looking for another girl
