   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
 (x2)
  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
 x2)
  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  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
  Stole all hearts away,  stole all hearts away  ahay ahay ahay
  Away-ahay  stole all hearts away  ... away
