Twenty seven years, twenty seven years old
Only thing I know, the only thing I get told
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
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
'Cause everybody always fucking changes their minds
A little bit of faith and a little bit chaded
No corner to 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
I know what I've done
I'm a hungry heart, a loaded gun

Twenty seven years, twenty seven years done
Written six hundreds 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'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
Oh I don't know what I'm doing
I know what I've done
I'm a hungry heart, a loaded gun

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, 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
