Mowgli’s Road Lyrics

[Hook]
Cuckoo! (Cuckoo! Cuckoo!)
Cuckoo! (Cuckoo! Cuckoo!)
Cuckoo! (Cuckoo! Cuckoo!)
Cuckoo! (Cuckoo! Cuckoo!)

[Verse 1]
Ten silver spoons coming after me
One life with one dream on repeat
I'll escape if I try hard enough
Till King of the Jungle calls my bluff

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, Lord (Oh, Lord)
I have been told (I have been told)
That I must take the unforsaken road
Forsaken road

[Chorus]
There's a fork in the road
I'll do as I am told
And I don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know
Who I wanna be

[Hook]
Cuckoo! (Cuckoo! Cuckoo!)
Cuckoo! (Cuckoo! Cuckoo!)
Cuckoo! (Cuckoo! Cuckoo!)
Cuckoo! (Cuckoo! Cuckoo!)

[Verse 2]
You say Y-E-S to everything
Will that guarantee you a win?
Do you think you will be good enough
To love others and to be loved?

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, Lord (Oh, Lord)
Now I can see (Now I can see)
The cutlery will keep on chasing me
Forsaken road

[Chorus]
There's a fork in the road
I'll do as I am told
And I don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know
Who I wanna be

[Bridge]
We are the spoons, metal-ly mean
We scooped our way into your dreams
To knock the knives out bloody cold
And lead you down the unforsaken road
Forsaken road

[Chorus]
There's a fork in the road
I'll do as I am told
And I don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know
Who I wanna be

[Hook]
Cuckoo!

“It’s about there being two roads in fame and the industry. When I wrote it, I didn’t know whether I was meant to be some kind of weird indie artist or a big pop thing. At the end of the day, I just thought, ‘You can be both if you want’. I’m a leftfield artist but I want to be really successful. Yo...
