lyrics

Detective Man - Grieve

Hold your horses Mr. please
We’re all looking for redemption
You want some hired expertise
Low risk, a timely intervention
I’m working cases overtime
Chasing leads, jumping fences
Trade your money for your pride
Up front, meals plus expenses

First consultation free, discretion guaranteed
Bad debts and infedelity
You can put your feet up leave the dirty work to me

Detective man, save you the trouble
Get your information
Detective man, peace of mind on the double

I’m parking nights out in the rain
Tailing limousine ’Benzes
I’m watching sordid lover’s games
Having fun, with telephoto lenses
Set a wire inside the phone
Hit the streets, undetected
When you think that you’re alone
Think again Mr. Company Director

Missing persons and security
Anything you need
Body cam technology
Covert operator gonna bring you up to speed

Detective man, save you the trouble
Get your information
Detective man, peace of mind on the double
I don’t wanna be you

We got video machines
And closed circuit TV
Bring up your details on the screen
Head down town with a positive ID
Got a lady crying foul
Found a girl beneath her bed
Wants her husband followed ’round
Wants to pay me with her body instead

Missing persons and security
Anything you need
Body cam technology
Covert operator gonna bring you up to speed

Detective man, save you the trouble
Get your information
Detective man, peace of mind on the double
I don’t wanna be you

about

Steve Grieve and The Mourners image

Steve Grieve and The Mourners Australia

Steve Grieve and The Mourners inhabit an enigmatic virtual Neverland of hazy musical dreams, outback chicanery, and lumpy, urbane hybrid rock, roots and blues edifices. The band has acquired an improbable yet mythical cult status and their most recent confrontations with crass commercialism, lazy stereotypes and alliteration are ceremoniously captured on the new album Caterpillar Maze. ... more
