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
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 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
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]
Elvis Costello - Kinder Murder - Live 1994 (03:20)
From the album Brutal Youth.
His vocals are always good, but in this show EC's guitar tone is impeccable. Damn, I wish I could play that well while singing.

Brutal Youth was a return to his 70's form. Fatter in the face, maybe, but his voice and his nice but nasty Buddy Holly glasses arrogance was intact. Absolutely blistering. And somewhat tuneful.
