Kinder Murder - 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



It'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 (x2)



She could have kept her knees together

Could have kept her mouth shut



It's a kinder murder (x2)



Jimmy took her down to the perimeter fence

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

And he went back to his regiment



It's a kinder murder



The officer said it had to be denied

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

All the family pride in a little ram-rider



It's a kinder murder (x2)



She could have kept her knees together

Could have kept her mouth shut



It's a kinder murder (x2)



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 (x2)



She could have kept her knees together

Could have kept her mouth shut



It's a kinder murder (x4
