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
