Letra

[Verse 1]
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
Let him dangle
Let him dangle
[Verse 2]
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 him with murder
Let him dangle
Let him dangle
Let him dangle
Let him dangle
[Verse 3]
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
Let him dangle
Let him dangle
[Verse 4]
Well, it's hard to imagine it's the times you have changed
But there's a murder in the kitchen that is brutal and strange
If killin' anybody is a terrible crime
Why does this bloodthirsty chorus come round from time to time?
Let him dangle
[Verse 5]
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
Let him dangle
Let him dangle
Let him dangle
[Verse 6]
Well, it's hard to imagine it's the times you have changed
When there's a murder in the kitchen that is brutal and strange
If killin' anybody is a terrible crime
Why does this bloodthirsty chorus come round from time to time?
Let him dangle
[Verse 7]
From a welfare state to society murder
Bring back the noose is always heard
Whenever those swine are under attack
But it won't make you even, it won't bring him back
Let him dangle
Let him dangle
Let him dangle
Let him dangle
[Verse 8]
Let him dangle
Let him dangle
Let him dangle
Let him dangle
[Verse 9]
(String him up)
(String him up)
(String him up)
