Kinder Murder Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Kinder Murder Lyrics

    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
    Should 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 has 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
    Should 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
    Dishonoured 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 [4x]
