    Salvador Sanchez arrived and vanished
    Only twenty-three with so much speed
    Owning the highway

    Mexico City bred so many
    But none quite like him sweet warrior
    Pure magic matador

    Pancho Villa would never rest
    'Til 1925 he closed his eyes
    'Til Manilla stars would rise

    Gozo of the Phillipines, choirs and angels sing
    Ukelele strings play for his legend
    Italy had a king

    How have they gone
    Fell by leather
    So alone
    Bound together

    Benny "kid" Paret came a good way
    Climbed to the grey sky to raise his hands
    Stopped by the better man

    Eyes of Los Rios cry for suns
    Lost on distant shores, unforeseen horrors
    Struck and delivered him

    How have they gone
    Fell by leather
    So alone
    Bound together

    Why have they gone
    Fell by leather
    So alone
    All bound together

    That whole album is about boxers. Pancho Villa, Benny Paret etc etc (I think though I've never listened to them) and I assume the creative force behind the band would get on well here, being as much of an aficionado as he is (well, he must be to have heard of Sung Kil Moon :lol:)
