MORRISSEY - First Of The Gang To Die lyrics

rate me

You have never been in love,

Until you've seen the stars,

reflect in the resevoirs

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 street..

...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 the first to do time

the first of the gang to die. Oh my.

You have never been in love,

Until you've seen the sunlight thrown

over smashed human bones

We are the pretty petty thieves,

And you're standing on our street..

...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 a bullet in his gullet

and the first lost lad to go 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

he stole all hearts away
