I was reading the lonely planet in South Africa and when i was reading about the Hector Peterson memorial in Soweto I read the words 'Hector was the first of the gang to die'. I am not saying that Morrissey trawls lonely planets for lyrics although that could explain Bengali in Platforms. Anyway i think this song is about Hector Peterson.
He stole all hearts away possibly referring to the uproar he caused some might say a big swing towards the end of the Apartheid.
The one lyric that stumps me slightly is With a gun in his hand. Maybe this refers to the damage he could do to the government with his protest/death! Anyway Rambling!
