about

The album's closer – think Neil Young with Doves as his backing band – featuring a private detective and the shady lady who becomes his obsession.

lyrics

LYRICS
Gumshoe walked 'round the block for you
Squinting through the pane to glimpse the truth of what you do
Searching snooping for some clues or hints
Finding scarlet women, ruby rings and red herrings

I had no way of knowing where the trail was going
But I had to watch you
I fell into a gutter, tasted muddy water
And I want you, I want you

Lies and facts keep me coming back
To see what goes on in your heart

Looking through the paper straight at you
Forensic detail of everything they want you to be made to do
Seeing what only private eyes should see
Finding your fingerprints all over me – the final scene

I had no way of mending the last unhappy ending
'Cos I had to stop you
As rain filled up the gutter, we swallowed muddy water
And I lost you, I lost you

Lies and facts keep me coming back
To search for love through the looking glass
Investigate the truthful and the fake
To see what goes on in your heart
