Morrissey The First Of The Gang To Die Lyrics

The First Of The Gang To Die Lyrics

You have never been in love
until you've seen the stars
reflect in the
reservoirs

And you have never been in love
until you've seen the dawn
rise
behind the home for the blind

We are the pretty petty
thieves
and you're standing on our streets
where Hector was the
first
of the gang with a gun in his hand
and the first to do time
the first of
the gang to die
Such a silly boy

Hector was the first of the
gang
with a gun in his hand
and the first to do time
the first of the
gang to die
Oh my

You haven never been in love
until you've seen
the sunlight thrown
over smashed human bone

We are the pretty petty
thieves
and you're standing on our streets
where Hector was the first of
the gang
with a gun in his hand
and the first to do time
the first of
the gang to die
Oh my

Hector was the first of the gang
with a gun
in his hand
and a bullet in his gullet
and the first lost lad
under
the sod

And he stole from the rich and the poor
and the not very rich
and the very poor
and he stole all hearts away
He stole all hearts
away
He stole all hearts away
Away...
He stole all hearts
away
Away...
He stole all hearts away
Away...
He stole all hearts
away
Away...
