Dire Straits - Private Investigations lyrics

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 reports - digging up the dirt You get to meet all sorts in this 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 windows and a pain behind your eyes Scarred for life - no compensation Private investigations
