| Also, the way he sings "stole ALL hearts away" emphasising the word, as if to imply his own heart included? | |

| "You have never been in love until you've seen the sun rise behind the home for the blind." that line cracks me up. what a bastard. it sounds like he's speaking from his perspective in that first verse. we all know Morrissey loves his irony, and it sounds like he's expressing that love in those first two couplets. | |

| This is obviously not an optimistic song. I think it's about gang violence because of love. This could be a song about LA gangs but the Hector character makes it much more universal. Hector is the first of the Troyans who has to confront the Greek hero Achilles in the Troyan war (Homeros' Ilias). The war started because of a woman, Helena. After Hector was slaughtered, the Greeks massacred all of Troy, which is basically the fault of love & mankinds weakness to love. This story is often looked at as the start of western literature and thus culture. Morrissey makes a comparison with today's gang violence in LA, stating that western culture (heroic stories about fighting for love, forbidden romances which result in murder etc.) has always been full of idiocy. Mankind's weakness for love makes us selfdestructive and we're proud of it , yay! | |

| Maybe there is a Spanish/South American connection with 'Hector' - apparently in Argentina he is treated like a God, and they even have a National Morrissey Day! As every nation should of course... "bullet in his gullet" - fantastic poetry, vivid shocking image. Damn him. | |
