Thief of Fire
By request, here's Thief of Fire, the opening track on Y. (As originally released. The CD puts She is Beyond Good and Evil, a bonus track, before it.) Anyone recognize the face behind the lyrics? (From the poster that came with Y.)
And here's Thief of Fire from We Are Time, recorded live at The Electric Ballroom in 1979.
And just for the heck of it, here are The Good Missionaries (essentially Alternative TV under a different name - Mark P and friends) playing Thief of Fire, with "Mark and Simon - Pop Grouping" live at St. Andrews Uni, 13May79. The Pop Group and Good Missionaries toured together.

Brilliant - thanks . My friend Dave wanted "thief of fire" paitned on the back of his leather jacket. "that's how pretentious I was" he said
Yep, another brilliant track. Please keep sharing and letting us hear more. Much appreciated.
hey i haven't heard this in a good 20 years!!! i had the album and thought it awesome. I liked the pop group and the slits great to hear it again and to know i was right!!!this stuff is classic
Just downloading the song so didn't hear it yet. But reminds me of the fact that in the last 2 gigs i saw (groningen 2003)/heard (bristol 2005) by Mark he both timeS at one moment shouted "thief of fire", so after more than 25 years he still admits his crime!!!
cheers
