Elvis Costello - Let Him Dangle Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Bentley said to craig let him have it chris
  • They still dont know today just what he meant by this
  • Craig fired the pistol, but was too young to swing
  • So the police took bentley and the very next thing
  • Let him dangle
  • Let him dangle
  • Bentley had surrendered, he was under arrest,
  • When he gave chris craig that fatal request
  • Craig shot sidney miles, he took bentleys word
  • The prosecution claimed as they charged them with murder
  • Let him dangle
  • Let him dangle
  • They say derek bentley was easily led
  • Well whats that to the woman that sidney miles wed
  • Though guilty was the verdict, and craig had shot him dead
  • The gallows were for bentley and still she never said
  • Let him dangle
  • Let him dangle
  • Well its hard to imagine its the times that have changed
  • When theres a murder in the kitchen that is brutal and strange
  • If killing anybody is a terrible crime
  • Why does this bloodthirsty chorus come round from time to time
  • Let him dangle
  • Not many people thought that bentley would hang
  • But the word never came, the phone never rang
  • Outside wandsworth prison there was horror and hate
  • As the hangman shook bentleys hand to calculate his weight
  • Let him dangle
  • From a welfare state to society murder
  • Bring back the noose is always heard
  • Whenever those swine are under attack
  • But it wont make you even
  • It wont bring him back
  • Let him dangle
  • Let him dangle (string him up)
