Twenty seven years, twenty seven years old
Only thing I know, the only thing that gets old
I gotta sell out if I want to 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 into the chart, oh no
Only way I can be, is to say what I see
And have my 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
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, oh
Said I don t know where I m running, but I know how to run
Cause running s the thing I ve always done, oh
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, oh |
