Just For The Record
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 out a sentence to write lifes 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 barroom 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
It's just a little less painful here when my back's against the wall
It's too late, it's too far, I'm in two minds
and both of them are out of it at the bar
When you say I've got a problem that's a certainty
But I 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
