Mark Knopfler - Private Investigations текст песни

Its a mystery to me - the game commences

For the usual fee - plus expenses

Confidential information - its in a diary

This is my investigation - its 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 - theres always an excuse for it

And when I find the reason I still cant 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

Private investigations
