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 (2)__________ don't need scholars as (3)________ as I thought.

Maybe I'll go traveling for a year,
Finding myself, or (4)__________ a career.
I (5)__________ work with the poor, though I'm hungry for fame.

working nine to five answering phones.
Don't make me live for my Friday nights,
drinking (16)__________ (17)__________ and getting in fights.

I don't want to get up, (18)________ let me lie in
leave me alone, I'm a twentysomething

Maybe I'll just (19)________ in (20)________ --

The truth eludes me, so much it hurts.
But I'm (24)__________ (25)____________ fun, and I guess that the key;
I'm a twentysomething and I'll (26)________ bein' me.

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