First of the Gang to Die Lyrics by Eddie Japan

2014

[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
We are the pretty petty thieves
And you're standing on our street
Where Hector was the
[Chorus]
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 thе gang with a gun in his hand
And the first to do time
The first of thе gang to die
Oh my
[Verse 2]
You have never been in love
Until you've seen sunlight thrown
Over smashed human bone
[Pre-Chorus]
We are the pretty petty thieves (Petty thieves)
And you're standing on our street
Where Hector was the
[Chorus]
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 the bullet in his gullet
And the first lost lad to go
Under the sod
[Verse 3]
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
Away
He stole all hearts away
Away
He stole all hearts away
Away
He stole all hearts away
Away
