Dire Straits
The Best of Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler: Private Investigations

Private Investigations

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 windows and a pain behind the eyes



Scarred for life, no compensation

Private investigations
