Twentysomething by Jamie Cullum

After (1)__________ of expensive education,
A car full of books and anticipation,
I'm an expert on Shakespeare, and that's a hell of a lot,
But the world don't need scholars as (2)________ as I thought.

Maybe I'll go traveling for a year,
Finding myself, or start a career.
I could work with the poor, though I'm hungry for fame.
We all seem so different, but we're (3)________ the same.

Who knows the answers, who do you trust?
I can't (4)________ separate love from lust.

Maybe I'll move back (5)________ and pay off my loans,
working nine to (6)________ answering phones.
Don't (7)________ me live for my Friday nights,
drinking eight pints and (8)______________ in fights.

I don't want to get up, just let me lie in
leave me alone, I'm a twentysomething

Maybe I'll just fall in love --
That could solve it all.
Philosophers say that that's enough;
There surely must be more, ooh.

Love ain't the answer, nor is work.
The truth eludes me, so much it hurts.
But I'm still having fun, and I guess that the key;
I'm a twentysomething and I'll (9)________ bein' me.

I'm a twentysomething, let me lie in,
leave me alone, I'm a twentysomething
