First of the Gang to Die

And he stole from the rich and the poor
Until you've seen the dawn rise
Where Hector was the first of the gang

Behind the home for the blind
Oh my

He stole all hearts away
And the first to do time

Such a silly boy
And you have never been in love
With a gun in his hand
And the first lost lad to go

Hector was the first of the gang
And the bullet in his gullet
The first of the gang to die
You have never been in love
And you're standing on our street
With a gun in his hand
And the first to do time

Oh my

Until you've seen the sunlight thrown
Reflect in the reservoirs

With a gun in his hand
Under the sod
Until you've seen the stars
Over smashed human bones
And the first to do time
He stole all hearts away
The first of the gang to die
We are the pretty petty thieves
And he stole all hearts away

With a gun in his hand
Where Hector was the first of the gang
We are the pretty petty thieves
Hector was the first of the gang
And you're standing on our street
And the not-very-rich and the very poor
The first of the gang to die

You have never been in love
He stole all hearts away
