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 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 window and a pain behind the eyes

Scarred for life / No compensation / Private investigations
