Dire Straits Lyrics of the Private Investigations track

It's a mystery to me

The game commences

For the usual fee

Plus expenses

Confidential information

It's in a diary

This is my investigation

It's not a public inquiry



I go checking out the report

Digging up the dirt

You get to meet all sorts

In the line of work

Treachery and treason

There's always an excuse for it

And when I find the reason

I still can't get used to it



And what have you got at the end of the day ?

What have you got to take away ?

A bottle of whisky and a new set of lies

blinds on the window and a pain behind the eyes



Scarred for life

No compensation
