Jamie Cullum - Twenty Something

I have been meaning to write this song on my blog after graduation, but I guess it just slipped my mind.
Until couple days ago, I put my iPod on shuffle and this song was played and suddenly I had the urge to put it on my blog.

So, here it goes...

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 scholors 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
