27 - Passenger

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

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, 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

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
