Kinder Murder - Elvis Costello
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: Standard
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 coulda kept her knees together coulda 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 her said he left her senseless
Then 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 her family pride in a little ram rider
It's a kinder murder
It's a kinder murder
She coulda kept her knees together coulda 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 friends keys from the pile
On the table in a flash he was dreaming of the pig skin
Seats and the walnut dash with the knickers in her
Handbag and the one false eyelash
It's a kinder murder
It's a kinder murder
She coulda kept her knees together coulda kept her mouth shut
It's a kinder murder
It's a kinder murder
It's a kinder murder
It's a kinder murder
