Just For The Record Lyrics - Marillion

Many's the time I've been thinking 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 

Just for the record I'm gonna put it down 

Just for the record I'm gonna change my life around 

Just a revolutionary with a pseudonym 

Just a bar room dancer on my final fling 

Just another writer paying off my dues 

Just finding inspiration well that's my excuse 

Just for the record I'm gonna put it down 

Just for the record I'm gonna change my life around 

Just another empty gesture with an empty glass 

Just another 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 

When you say I got a problem that's a certainty 

But I can put it all right down to eccentricity 

It's just for the record it's just a passing phase 

Just for the record I can stop any day
