**********


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
(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 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
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 under the sod

*** instrumental ***

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....

(ad lib to end...)
