Matchstalk Men & Matchstalk Cats & Dogs - St. Winifred's School Choir[00:00:01]
He painted Salford Smokey tops[00:00:07]
On Cardboard boxes from the shops[00:00:10]
And parts of ancolts where I used to play[00:00:14]
I’m sure he once walked down our street[00:00:20]
Cause he painted kids who had nowt on their feet[00:00:23]
The clothes he wore had all seen better days[00:00:26]
Now they said his works of art where dull[00:00:36]
No room old lad the wall was full[00:00:39]
But Lowry didn’t care much any way[00:00:43]
They said he just paints cats and dogs[00:00:49]
And Match stalk men in boots and clogs[00:00:52]
And Lowry said that’s just the way they’ll stay[00:00:55]
And he painted Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and dogs[00:01:01]
He painted kids on the corner of the streets with the sparking clogs[00:01:07]
And now he takes his brush and he waits out side them factory gates[00:01:14]
To paint his Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and dogs[00:01:20]
Now canvas and brushes where wearing thin[00:01:28]
When London started calling him[00:01:31]
To come on down and wear the old flat cap[00:01:34]
They said tell us all about your ways[00:01:40]
And all about them Salford days[00:01:44]
Is it true you’re just an ordinary chap[00:01:47]
And he painted Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and dogs[00:01:52]
He painted kids on the corner of the streets with the sparking[00:01:59]
And now he takes his brush and he waits out side them factory gates[00:02:06]
To paint his Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and dogs[00:02:12]
Now Lowry's hang upon the wall[00:02:19]
Be side the greatest of them all[00:02:23]
And even the Mona Lisa takes a bow[00:02:26]
This tired old man with hair like snow[00:02:32]
Told northern folk its time to go[00:02:36]
The fever came and the good Lord mopped his brow[00:02:39]
And he left us Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and dogs[00:02:44]
He left us kids on the corner of[00:02:51]
The streets with the sparking clogs[00:02:54]
Now he takes his brush and[00:02:58]
He waits out side them pearly gates[00:03:00]
To paint his Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and dogs[00:03:04]
And he left us Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and dogs[00:03:11]
He left us kids on the corner of[00:03:17]
The streets with the sparking clogs[00:03:20]
Now he takes his brush and he waits out side them pearly gates[00:03:23]
To paint his Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and dogs[00:03:30]
And he left us Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and dogs[00:03:36]
He left us kids on the corner of[00:03:43]
The streets with the sparking clogs[00:03:46]
Now he takes his brush and he waits out side them pearly gates[00:03:49]
To paint his Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and dogs[00:03:56]
