Twentysomething Songtext

von Jamie Cullum

After years 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 world don't need scholars as much as I thought

Maybe I'll go travelling 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
All things are 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 back home, and pay off my loans,
Working nine to five, answering 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 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 deludes me, so much it hurts,
But I'm still 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
