Twentysomething by Jamie Cullum

After years of expensive education,
A car (1)________ of books and anticipation,
I'm an expert on Shakespeare, and that's a hell of a lot,
But the world don't (2)________ scholars as (3)________ 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 (4)____________ for fame.
We all seem so different, but we're just the same.

Maybe I'll go to the gym, so I don't get fat.
Aren't things more easy with a tight six-pack?
Who knows the answers, who do you trust?
I can't even separate love from lust.

Maybe I'll move (5)________ home and pay off my loans,
working nine to five (6)__________________ phones.
Don't make me live for my Friday nights,
drinking eight pints and getting 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 (7)__________ 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 (8)____________ fun, and I (9)__________ that the key;
I'm a (10)______________________________ and I'll keep bein' me.

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