Twentysomething by Jamie Cullum

After (1)__________ of expensive education,
A car full of (2)__________ and anticipation,
I'm an expert on Shakespeare, and that's a (3)________ of a lot,
But the (4)__________ don't need (5)________________ as much as I thought.

Maybe I'll go traveling for a year,
Finding myself, or start a career.
I could (6)________ 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 (7)________ easy with a (8)__________ six-pack?
Who knows the answers, who do you trust?
I can't (9)________ separate love from lust.

Maybe I'll (10)________ back home and pay off my loans,
working nine to five answering phones.
Don't make me live for my Friday nights,
drinking (11)__________ pints and getting in fights.

I don't (12)________ to get up, (13)________ let me lie in
leave me alone, I'm a twentysomething

Maybe I'll (14)________ fall in love --
That (15)__________ (16)__________ it all.
Philosophers say that that's enough;
There (17)____________ must be more, ooh.

Love ain't the answer, nor is work.
The truth (18)____________ me, so much it hurts.
But I'm still (19)____________ fun, and I guess that the key;
I'm a twentysomething and I'll (20)________ bein' me.

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