[00:00:00] 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

[00:00:05] They still don't know today just what he meant by this

[00:00:09] Craig fired the pistol but was too young to swing

[00:00:13] So the please took bentley and the very next thing

[00:00:17] Let him dangle

[00:00:19] Let him dangle

[00:00:26] Let him dangle

[00:00:28] Let him dangle

[00:00:35] Bentley had surrendered he was under arrest

[00:00:38] When he gave chris craig that fatal request

[00:00:43] Craig shot sidney miles he took bentleys word

[00:00:47] The prosecution claimed as they charged them with murder

[00:00:51] Let him dangle

[00:00:53] Let him dangle

[00:01:00] Let him dangle

[00:01:01] Let him dangle

[00:01:09] They say derek bentley was easily led

[00:01:13] Well whats that to the woman that sidney miles wed

[00:01:16] Though guilty was the verdict and craig had shot him dead

[00:01:21] The gallows were for bentley and still she never said

[00:01:25] Let him dangle

[00:01:26] Let him dangle

[00:01:34] Let him dangle

[00:01:35] Let him dangle

[00:01:42] Well it's hard to imagine it's the times that have changed

[00:01:46] When theres a murder in the kitchen that is brutal and strange

[00:01:51] If killing anybody is a terrible crime

[00:01:54] Why does this bloodthirsty chorus come round from time to time

[00:02:01] Let him dangle

[00:02:08] Not many people thought that bentley would hang

[00:02:12] But the word never came the phone never rang

[00:02:16] Outside wandsworth prison there was horror and hate

[00:02:20] As the hangman shook bentleys hand to calculate his weight

[00:02:24] Let him dangle

[00:02:26] Let him dangle

[00:02:33] Let him dangle

[00:02:35] Let him dangle

[00:02:42] Well it's hard to imagine it's the times that have changed

[00:02:45] When theres a murder in the kitchen that is brutal and strange

[00:02:50] If killing anybody is a terrible crime

[00:02:54] Why does this bloodthirsty chorus come round from time to time

[00:03:00] Let him dangle

[00:03:16] From a welfare state to society murder

[00:03:20] Bring back the noose is always heard

[00:03:24] Whenever those swine are under attack

[00:03:28] But it won't make you even

[00:03:30] It won't bring him back

[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] Let him dangle

[00:04:07] String him up

[00:04:15] String him up

[00:04:24] String him up
