2. I go checking out the reports - digging up the dirt
   You get to meet in all sorts - in this line of work
   Treachery and treason - there's always an excuse for it

   A bottle of whisky - and a new set of lies
   C                           H
   Blinds on the windows and a pain behind the eyes
