[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

[Pre-Chorus]
We are the pretty petty thieves
And you're standing on our streets
Where Hector was the...

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
You have never been in love
Until you've seen the sunlight thrown
Over smashed human bone

[Pre-Chorus]
We are the pretty petty thieves
And you're standing on our streets

[Chorus]
First of the gang with a gun in his hand
And the first to do time
The first of the gang to die

And the first lost lad to go

[Verse 3]
And he stole from the rich and the poor
And 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
He stole all hearts away
Away
He stole all hearts away
He stole all hearts away
Away
