Jamie Cullum - Twentysomething lyrics
[Jamie Cullum - Twentysomething lyrics]
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 traveling 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
Aren't things more 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 eludes 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
(doo ba dah do ba da da da da
Doo ba da do ba da da da da)
I'm a twentysomething, let me lie in
Leave me alone, I'm a twentysomething
(doo ba dah do ba da da da da
Doo ba da do ba da da da da)
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 traveling 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
Aren't things more 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 eludes 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
(doo ba dah do ba da da da da
Doo ba da do ba da da da da)
I'm a twentysomething, let me lie in
Leave me alone, I'm a twentysomething
(doo ba dah do ba da da da da
Doo ba da do ba da da da da)
