Mark Knopfler Lyrics for Song: Private Investigations
 Lyrics for Album: Private Investigations: Best Of Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler [2010]
 
 
 
 34356>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 whiskey and a new set of lies
 
 Blinds on the window and a pain behind the eyes
 
 
 
 Scarred for life
 
 No compensation
 
 Private investigations
