Kinder Murder Elvis Costello

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
She could have kept her knees together
Could have kept her mouth shut
It's a kinder murder
It's a kinder murder

[Verse 2]
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
