A New England
Billy Bragg
Text File
This is the original version. A nice thing is on the chorus to put your little finger on
(the G) to give a nice accent.
I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song
I��m twenty-two now, but I won��t be for long
People ask me when will I grow up to be a man
Why the girls I knew at school are already pushing prams
C / G Am / F Em / G F C
I loved you then as I love you still
Though I put you on a pedestal, you put me on the pill
I don��t feel bad about letting you go
I just feel sad about letting you know
F C Am
I don��t want to change the world; I��m not looking for a New England
F E �� G
Are you looking for another girl?
F C Am
I don��t want to change the world; I��m not looking for a New England
F C
�� Are you 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
It��s wrong to wish on space hardware
I wish, I wish, I wish you��d care
CHORUS
