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 travelling for a year

Finding myself, or start a career

Could work 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 seperate 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 Friday nights

Drinking eight pints and getting in fights

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 elludes 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

THESE ARE THE DAYS

These are the days that I've been missing

Give me the taste give me the joy of summer wine

These are the days that bring new meaning

I feel the stillness of the sun and I feel fine

Sometimes when the nights are closing early

I remember you and I start to smile

Even though now you don't want to know me

I get on by, and I go the extra mile

These are the times of love and meaning

Ice of the heart has melted away and found the light

These are the days of endless dreaming

Troubles of life are floating away like a bird in flight

These are the days that I've been missing

Give me the taste give me the joy of summer wine

These are the days that bring new meaning

I feel the stillness of the sun and I feel fine
