Just For The Record - Fish

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
