Two days after No Fun Mondays came back on a Wednesday, Billie Joe released a cover of Billy Bragg’s “A New England” on Friday, July 10th.
The music video shows the lyrics scrolling down from a projector.
[Verse 1]
I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song
I'm twenty-two now, but I won't be for long
People always ask, "When will you grow up to be a man?"
But all the girls I loved at school are already pushing prams
[Pre-Chorus]
I loved you then as I love you still
Though 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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, looking for another girl
[Outro]
Looking for another girl, looking for another girl
