Testo Let Him Dangle - Powderfinger

Testo della canzone Let Him Dangle (Powderfinger), tratta dall'album Odyssey Number Five

Bentley said to Craig, "Let him have it, Chris"

We still don't know today just what he meant by this

Well, Craig fired the pistol but was too young to swing

The police took Bentley and the very next thing

Let him dangle, let him dangle

Let him dangle, let him dangle

Bentley had surrendered, he was under arrest

When he gave Chris Craig a fatal request

Well, Craig shot Sydney Miles, he took Bentley's word

The prosecutor claimed as they charged him with murder

Let him dangle, let him dangle

Let him dangle, let him dangle

They say Derek Bentley was easily led

But what's that to the woman that Sydney Miles wed?

But guilty was the verdict and Craig shot him dead

The gallows was for Bentley but still she never said

Let him dangle, let him dangle

Let him dangle, let him dangle

Well, it's hard to imagine it's the times that have changed

There's a murder in the kitchen that is brutal and strange

And killing anybody is a terrible crime

But does this bloodthirsty chorus come around from time to time?

Let him dangle

Now many people thought that Bentley would hang

The word never came and 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

Well, it's hard to imagine it's the times that have changed

There's a murder in the kitchen that is brutal and strange

And killing anybody is a terrible crime

But does this bloodthirsty chorus come around from time to time?

Let him dangle

Now MC said to ACT, "Come on, let's make a deal

All these bastards ever do is reoffend and steal"

Now a teenage boy is hanging there dead

The mandatory sentence hanging over his head

Let him dangle, let him dangle

Let him dangle, let him dangle
