Private Investigations

作词 : Mark Knopfler

作曲 : Mark Knopfler

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't 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 is always an excuse for it

And when I find the reason I still cannot 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
