27 lyrics

27 years, 27 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 my 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

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

27 years, 27 years now, only thing I know,

I know that I don't know how

To please everybody all of the time

'Cause everybody always fucking changes their mind

A little bit faded, a little bit shaded,

Don't want to stop, 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

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

27 years, 27 years done

Written 600 songs, only 12 get sung

87,000 cigarettes have passed through these lungs and

Every single day I wish I'd never smoked 1

A week brushing my teeth and a week getting my haircut

8 years sleeping, I'm still tired when I wake up

A whole year eating and I still lost weight fuck

5 proper girlfriends and 5 messy breakups

27 birthdays, 27 new years

30,000 quid, just so I could have a few beers

Ever dying old hopes, ever growing new fears

Don't know how I'm going, but I know how I'm going here

I don't know where I'm running but I know how to run

'Cause, running's the thing I've always done

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
