Texty: Marillion. Just for The Record.

Many's the time I've been thinkin' about changing my ways
But when it gets right down to it, it's the same drunken haze
I'm serving a sentence to write life's sentences
It's only when I'm out of it I make sense of this

But just for the record I'm gonna put it down, down, down, down
Just for the record I'm gonna change my life around

Just a revolutionary with a pseudonym
Just a barroom dancer on my final fling
Just another writer payin' off my dues
Just findin' inspiration, well that's my excuse

Just for the record I'm gonna put it down
(Down, down, down)
Just for the record, I'm gonna change my life around

Just another empty gesture with an empty glass
Just a comic actor behind a tragic mask

But I've got no discipline, got no self control
Just a little less painful here when my back's against the wall

It's too late, I found, it's too far, I'm in two minds
Both of them are out of it at the bar

Tu ru tu tu tu tu
When you say, I got a problem that's a certainty
But I can put it all down to eccentricity
It's just for the record, it's just a passin' phase
Just for the record, I can stop any day
