Lyrics for Private Investigations - Live At Hammersmith Odeon, London/1983
(Thank you very much) It's a mystery to me, the game commences For the usual fee plus expenses Confidential information, it's in the diary This is my investigation, it's not a public inquiry I'm checking out the reports, and I'm digging up the dirt You get to meet all sorts in this line of work Well, treachery and treason, well, there's always an excuse for it And when I find the reason, I can't get used to it And what have you got at the end of the day? What you got for the take away? A bottle of whiskey, a new set of lies Blinds on the window and a pain behind the eyes Scarred for life, no compensation Private investigations Thank you
