Let Him Dangle - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)[00:00:00]
Bentley said to craig let him have it Chris[00:00:00]
They still don't know today just what he meant by this[00:00:05]
Craig fired the pistol but was too young to swing[00:00:09]
So the please took bentley and the very next thing[00:00:13]
Let him dangle[00:00:17]
Let him dangle[00:00:19]
Let him dangle[00:00:26]
Let him dangle[00:00:28]
Bentley had surrendered he was under arrest[00:00:35]
When he gave chris craig that fatal request[00:00:38]
Craig shot sidney miles he took bentleys word[00:00:43]
The prosecution claimed as they charged them with murder[00:00:47]
Let him dangle[00:00:51]
Let him dangle[00:00:53]
Let him dangle[00:01:00]
Let him dangle[00:01:01]
They say derek bentley was easily led[00:01:09]
Well whats that to the woman that sidney miles wed[00:01:13]
Though guilty was the verdict and craig had shot him dead[00:01:16]
The gallows were for bentley and still she never said[00:01:21]
Let him dangle[00:01:25]
Let him dangle[00:01:26]
Let him dangle[00:01:34]
Let him dangle[00:01:35]
Well it's hard to imagine it's the times that have changed[00:01:42]
When theres a murder in the kitchen that is brutal and strange[00:01:46]
If killing anybody is a terrible crime[00:01:51]
Why does this bloodthirsty chorus come round from time to time[00:01:54]
Let him dangle[00:02:01]
Not many people thought that bentley would hang[00:02:08]
But the word never came the phone never rang[00:02:12]
Outside wandsworth prison there was horror and hate[00:02:16]
As the hangman shook bentleys hand to calculate his weight[00:02:20]
Let him dangle[00:02:24]
Let him dangle[00:02:26]
Let him dangle[00:02:33]
Let him dangle[00:02:35]
Well it's hard to imagine it's the times that have changed[00:02:42]
When theres a murder in the kitchen that is brutal and strange[00:02:45]
If killing anybody is a terrible crime[00:02:50]
Why does this bloodthirsty chorus come round from time to time[00:02:54]
Let him dangle[00:03:00]
From a welfare state to society murder[00:03:16]
Bring back the noose is always heard[00:03:20]
Whenever those swine are under attack[00:03:24]
But it won't make you even[00:03:28]
It won't bring him back[00:03:30]
Let him dangle[00:03:32]
Let him dangle[00:03:34]
Let him dangle[00:03:41]
Let him dangle[00:03:43]
Let him dangle[00:03:49]
Let him dangle[00:03:51]
Let him dangle[00:03:58]
Let him dangle[00:04:00]
String him up[00:04:07]
String him up[00:04:15]
String him up[00:04:24]
