<br>(billy bragg)<br><br><br><br>I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song<br><br>Im twenty-two now, but I wont be for long<br><br>People ask me when will I grow up to understand<br><br>Why the girls I knew at school are already pushing prams<br><br><br><br>I loved you then as I love you still<br><br>Though I put you on a pedestal, you put me on the pill<br><br>I dont feel bad about letting you go<br><br>I just feel sad about letting you know<br><br><br><br>I dont want to change the world<br><br>Im not looking for a new england<br><br>Are you looking for another girl<br><br><br><br>I loved the words you wrote to me<br><br>But that was bloody yesterday<br><br>I cant survive on what you send<br><br>Every time you need a friend<br><br><br><br>I saw two shooting stars last night<br><br>I wished on them, but they were only satellites<br><br>Its wrong to wish on space hardware<br><br>I wish, I wish, I wish youd care<br><br><br><br>I dont want to change the world<br><br>Im not looking for a new england<br><br>Are you looking for another girl<br><br><br><br>My dreams were full of strange ideas<br><br>My mind was set despite the fears<br><br>But other things got in the way<br><br>I never asked that boy to stay<br><br><br><br>Once upon a time at home<br><br>I sat beside the telephone<br><br>Waiting for someone to pull me through<br><br>When at last it didnt ring, I knew it wasnt you<br><br><br><br>I dont want to change the world<br><br>Im not looking for a new england<br><br>Are you looking for another girl
