Here in the barthe 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 could have kept her knees together
Should have 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 hourhe 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

She could have kept her knees together
Should have 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 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

She could have kept her knees together
Could have kept her mouth shut

It s a kinder murder [4x]
