Lyrics for Let Him Dangle by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |

Bentley said to Craig "Let him have it Chris"
They still don't 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 Bentley's word
The prosecution claimed as
they charged them with murder
Let him dangle
Let him dangle
They say Derek
Bentley was easily led
Well what's 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 it's hard to imagine it's the times
that have changed
When there's 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 Bentley's hand to calculate his weight
Let him dangle | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
