 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 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.
 Chords:
 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

 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

LYRICS

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 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
