Private Investigations Lyrics by Dire Straits

Private Investigations Lyrics

    It's a mystery to me - the game commences
    For the usual fee - plus expenses
    Confidential information - contained in a diary
    This is my investigation - 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 the eyes

    Scarred for life - no compensation
    Private investigations
