The wind has blown me in the corner and it's hard to let go

A little while ago I blogged about Kokokaina a.k.a. Zee Avi.. I've listened to her entire album every day for the past week. It is truly something special :)

Besides the classics, Kantoi and Bitter Heart, Poppy is really catchy! And First of the Gang... well, give it a listen:




You have never been in love

till you see the stars

reflect in the reservoirs
and you have never been in love

until you see the dawn rise

behind the home for the blind

We are the pretty, petty thieves
and you're standing on our streets

where Hector was the first of the gang with the gun in his hand
and the first to do time, first of the gangs who died
Ohh, myy
Where Hector was the first of the gang with the gun in his hand
and the first to do time, first of the gangs who died
Ohh, myy

You have never been in love

until you've seen the 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 the gun in his hand
and the first to do time, first of the gangs who died
Such a silly boy, where Hector was the first of the gang with the gun in his hand
and a bullet in his gut and the first lost life to go under the sun

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, stole all hearts
he stole all hearts away, stole all hearts away, stole all hearts away, away
he stole all hearts away, he stole all hearts away, he stole all hearts away

Btw, this song is actually a cover. The original was sung by Morrissey, but I think Zee Avi's version is better :) Personal opinion of course.

Oh, hi Will and Shakti :p
