Aha...talking about Dragging the River by Richard Thompson... You thought that you were smart, little tart When you threw me over for Shorty McKay You thought that I would take it like a white man Squeeze your hand as we said goodbye Now the Police are out there dragging the river Looking for a body, five foot two There've been complaints about the drinking water So they're dragging the river for you I spent a fortune keeping you quiet And you found a nice way to pay me back Now how does the future look without me From the inside of a sack? Now the Police are out there dragging the river Looking for a bone in an Irish stew God help the worms and God help the fishies They're dragging the river for you All my life I've been a coward You know I never had the courage to fend for myself Killing you was the best thing I ever did You worked wonders for my mental health Now the Police are out there dragging the river Looking for a body, five foot two The divers are down and the beaters are out And they're dragging the river for you As John Peel said when Richard and Linda did the song on Top Gear - "Ah, the power of positive thought!"
