Mellotronists

I always thought that Kirsty MacColl (R.I.P) wrote New England.  
Something about the lyric - "I was 21 years when I wrote this song"

You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last
