Текст песни: Dire Straits. Privare Investigations.

It's a mystery to me - the game commences
For the usual fee - plus expences
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 an reason - there's always an excuse for it
And when I find the reason I still 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 investigation
