Kinder Murder — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

Here in the bar, the boys like to have fun

Theres a wager lost and an argument won

Theres a stone-washed damsel on a junk food run



Its a kinder murder



Theres 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



Its a kinder murder

Its a kinder murder



She could have kept her knees together

Should have kept her mouth shut



Its a kinder murder

Its 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



Its a kinder murder



The officer said it has to be denied

Theres a tear-stained would-be teenage bride

All the family pride in the little ram-rider



Its a kinder murder

Its a kinder murder



She could have kept her knees together

Should have kept her mouth shut



Its a kinder murder

Its 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



Its a kinder murder



Jimmy took his best friends 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



Its a kinder murder

Its a kinder murder



She could have kept her knees together

Could have kept her mouth shut



Its a kinder murder [4x]
