This is probably really naive of me but I feel as if this is another song about Morrissey's (often fetishistic) relationship with gang culture. Just like in 'Suedehead' he's discussing gang subculture.
It feels like quite a romantic song. I adore that Hector 'stole all hearts away.' The characters seems so powerful and commands the most attention (even from the singer!) but he dies a tragic and presumably young death. It reminds me a little of Morrissey's relationship with James Dean, too.
