Paroles de 27

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
