Twenty seven years Twenty seven years old The only thing I know The only thing I get told I’ve gotta sell out if I wanna get sold Don’t want the devil to be taking my soul I, write songs that come from the heart I don’t give a fuck if they get in to the chart or not Only way I can be, is to say what I see And have no shadow hanging over me
I don’t know where I’m running But I know how to run ‘Cause running’s the thing I’ve always done Oh, I don’t know what I’m doing But I know what I’ve done I’m a hungry heart I’m a loaded gun
Twenty seven years twenty seven years now Only thing I know, I know that I don’t know how To please everybody all of the time ‘Cause everybody’s always fucking changing their minds A little bit faded, a little bit jaded Not gonna stop and I won’t be persuaded To write words I can’t believe in To see my face on a video screen
I don’t know where I’m running But I know how to run ‘Cause running’s the thing I’ve always done Oh, I don’t know what I’m doing But I know what I’ve done I’m a hungry heart I’m a loaded gun
Twenty seven years twenty seven years done Written six hundred songs only twelve get sung Eighty seven thousand cigarettes have passed through these lungs And every single day I wish’ I’d never smoked one A week brushing my teeth and a week getting my haircut Eight years sleeping I’m still tired when I wake up A whole year eating and I still lost weight fuck Five proper girlfriends and five messy breakups Twenty seven birthdays twenty seven new years Thirty thousand quid just so I could have a few beers Ever dying old hopes, ever growing new fears Don’t know where I’m going but I know how I got here
I don’t know where I’m running But I know how to run ‘Cause running’s the thing I’ve always done Oh, I don’t know what I’m doing But I know what I’ve done I’m a hungry heart I’m a loaded gun I don’t know where I’m running But I know how to run ‘Cause running’s the thing I’ve always done Oh, I don’t know what I’m doing But I know what I’ve done I’m a hungry heart I’m a loaded gun
