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 of faith and a little bit of chain

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.

Oh oh, oh, ooooh, ooh, oh, oh oh, oooooh, oh oh, oooh...

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.

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

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

Said 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.
