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 (3)________ as I thought.

Maybe I'll go (4)__________________ for a year,
Finding myself, or (5)__________ a career.
I could work (6)________ the poor, (7)____________ 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 easy with a tight six-pack?
Who knows the answers, who do you trust?
I can't even (8)________________ love (9)________ lust.

Maybe I'll move back (10)________ and pay off my loans,
working (11)________ to (12)________ answering phones.
Don't make me live for my Friday nights,
drinking eight (13)__________ and (14)______________ in fights.

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

Maybe I'll (15)________ fall in love --
That (16)__________ solve it all.
Philosophers say (17)________ that's enough;
There (18)____________ must be more, ooh.

Love ain't the answer, nor is work.
The truth (19)____________ me, so much it hurts.
But I'm still having fun, and I (20)__________ (21)________ the key;
I'm a twentysomething and I'll (22)________ bein' me.

I'm a twentysomething, let me lie in,
leave me alone, I'm a (23)______________________________
