Lyrics: 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
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
