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...
