Title: Kinder Murder
Lyrics Kinder MurderHere 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
[Chorus:]
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
[Chorus][x2]
She could have kept her knees together
Should have kept her mouth shut
[Chorus][x2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus][x2]
She could have kept her knees together
Should have kept her mouth shut
[Chorus][x2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus][x2]
She could have kept her knees together
Could have kept her mouth shut
[Chorus][x4] |
