Jamie Cullum's '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 traveling 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

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

But don't make me live for my Friday nights

Drinking eight pints and getting in fights

Don't wanna get up, just have a 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

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's the key

I'm a twentysomething and I'll keep being me

All: scat

[Sung freely]

I'm a twentysomething, let me lie in

Leave me alone, I'm a twentysomething
