First of the Gang to Die
album【You are the Quarry】
________________________________________________

You have never been in love,
Until you`ve seen the star
Reflect in the resevoirs
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 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

The first last lad 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
