Song lyrics

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, I know how to run
'Cos running's the thing I've always done
Oh I don't know what I'm doing, I know what I've done
I'm a hungry heart, 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,
'Cos 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, I know how to run
'Cos running's the thing I've always done
Oh I don't know what I'm doing, I know what I've done
I'm a hungry heart, 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
'Cos running's the thing I've always done
Oh I don't know what I'm doing, I know what I've done
I'm a hungry heart, a loaded gun

Say I don't know where I'm running, I know how to run
'Cos 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
