[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
We are the pretty, petty thieves
And you're standing on our streets
Where Hector was the first of the gang with the gun in his hand
And the first to do time, the first of the gang to die
Oh, my
Where Hector was the first of the gang with the gun in his hand
And the first to do time, the first of the gang to die
Oh, my
[Verse 2]
You have never been in love
Until you've seen the sunlight thrown
Over smashed human bone
[Chorus]
We are the pretty, petty thieves
And you're standing on our streets
Where Hector was the first of the gang with the gun in his hand
And the first to do time, first of the gang who died
Such a silly boy, where Hector was the first of the gang with the gun in his hand
And a bullet in his gut and the first lost life to go under the sun
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
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, ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
Away
He stole all hearts away, stole all hearts away, he stole all hearts away, ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
Away
He stole all hearts away, he stole all hearts away, he stole all hearts away
