Theme Song[]
The opening theme song was written, composed and performed by Gemma Ray. The lyrics to the theme song are as follows:
I've got my eye on you
I've got my eye on you
And a motif, too
Your fooling around's
Getting blood on my shoes
Oh
Ooh-wha, ah-ah, oh, oh
Ooh-wha, ah-ah
I've set my sights on you
I've set my sights on you
Got an alibi, too
So don't look around
I've got nothing to lose
Ooh-wha, ah-ah, oh, oh
Ooh-wha, ah-ah, oh, oh
Ooh-wha, ah-ah
Ooh-wha, ah-ah, oh, oh
Ooh-wha, ah-ah
