Trouble Is My Business

(album: Ride Blue Divide - 1982)

I've traveled round this world from east to west boys
Looking for to rest this hired gun
But everywhere I look the same old story
It's everybody else that has the fun

Trouble is my business
Trouble is my life
Trouble is my business
But I just don't seem to please
No I just don't seem to please
Your private eye

A face to melt a heart that won't forget boys
The price you pay to look is sometimes high
When strangers fall in love and never meet boys
The promise of your heart becomes a lie

Trouble is my business
Trouble is my life
Trouble is my business
But I just don't seem to please
No I just don't seem to please
Your private eye

For every cheap hotel I've laid my head in
For every seedy case I've tried to crack
I'd give my weight in silver for an angel
But when I've looked at you you don't look back

Trouble is my business
Trouble is my life
Trouble is my business
But I just don't seem to please
No I just don't seem to please
Your private eye
