It's a mystery to me - the game commences
  for the usual fee - plus expenses
  confidential information - contained in a diary
  this is my investigation - 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 whisky and a new set of lies
  blinds on the windows and a pain behind the eyes
  Scarred for life - no compensation
  private investigations
