Kinder Murder Lyrics - Elvis Costello

Here in the bar, the boys like to have fun 

There's a wager lost and an argument won 

There's a stone-washed damsel on a junk food run 

It's a kinder murder 

There's a ladder to heaven from a battered stiletto 

Spitting out the words that he put into her mouth 

See her in silhouette going down South 

It's a kinder murder 

It's a kinder murder 

She could have kept her knees together 

Could have kept her mouth shut 

It's a kinder murder 

It's a kinder murder 

Jimmy took her down to the perimeter fence 

He was back in half an hour, he said he left her senseless 

Then he went back to his regiment

It's a kinder murder 

The officer said it have to be denied 

There's a tear-stained would-be teenage bride 

All the family pride in the little ram-rider 

It's a kinder murder 

It's a kinder murder 

She could have kept her knees together 

Could have kept her mouth shut 

It's a kinder murder 

It's a kinder murder 

The child went missing and the photo fit his face 

Dishonored Jimmy just read about the case 

He said that he was just taking up space 

It's a kinder murder 

Jimmy took his best friend's keys from the pile on the table in a flash 

He was dreaming of the pigskin seats and the walnut dash 

The knickers in her handbag and the one false eyelash

It's a kinder murder 

It's a kinder murder 

She could have kept her knees together 

Could have kept her mouth shut 

It's a kinder murder 

It's a kinder murder 

It's a kinder murder 

It's a kinder murder
