Jamie Cullum - Twenty Something
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 for 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,
are things more easy with a tight six pack?
Who knows the answers? Who do you trust?
I can't event 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 twenty something. Maybe I'll just fall in love
that could solve it all,
philosophers say that that's enough,
there surely must be more. Ooooh
Love ain't the answer nor is work,
the truth alludes me so much it hurts.
But I'm still having fun
and I guess that's the key,
I'm a twenty something and I'll keep being me.
doh dah duh dah, do duh dah dah dah
doh dah duh dah, do duh dah dah dah
doh dah duh dah, do duh dah dah dah
doh dah duh dah, do duh dah dah dah
I'm a twenty something.
Let me lie in, Leave me alone.
I'm a twenty something.
doh dah duh dah, do duh dah dah dah
doh dah duh dah, do duh dah dah dah
doh dah duh dah, do duh dah dah dah
doh dah duh dah, do duh dah dah dah
