Twentysomething by Jamie Cullum

After years of expensive education,
A car (1)________ of books and anticipation,
I'm an (2)____________ on Shakespeare, and that's a hell of a lot,
But the world don't need scholars as much 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 just the same.

Maybe I'll go to the gym, so I don't get fat.
Aren't things more (3)________ with a tight six-pack?
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 five answering phones.
Don't make me live for my Friday nights,
drinking (6)__________ (7)__________ 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 (9)__________ having fun, and I guess that the key;
I'm a twentysomething and I'll keep bein' me.

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