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

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

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

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
