Lyrics
[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 [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 3] 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 [Chorus] 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
