Lyric Just For The Record

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, 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, 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
