First Of The Gang To Die Lyrics


Morrissey First Of The Gang To Die


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, he was 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, he was the first to do time.
The first of the gang to die.
Oh my.

You have never been in love,
Until you've seen...
Sunlight thrown...
Over smashed human bones.
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, he was 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
