Private Investigations |
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 |
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 |
