Matchstalk Men And Matchstalk Cats And Dogs - The Spinners
He painted salford's smokey tops
On cardboard boxes from the shops

Parts of ancoats where I used to play

I'm sure he once walked down our street
For he painted kids so had nowt on their feet
The clothes we wore had all see better days

And he painted matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs

He painted kids on the corner of the street that were sparking clogs

Now he takes his brush and he waits outside them factory gates
To paint his matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs

They said his works of art were dull
No room all round the walls are full

But Lowry didn't care much anyway

They said he just paints cats and dogs
And matchstalk men in boots and clogs
And Lowry said that's just the way they'll stay

And he painted matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs

He painted kids on the corner of the street that were sparking clogs

Now he takes his brush and he waits outside them factory gates

To paint his matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs

Now canvas and brushes were wearing thin
When London started calling him
To come on down and wear the old flat cap

They said tell us all about your ways
And all about them salford days
Is it true you're just an ordinary chap

And he pantied matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs

He painted kids on the corner of the street that were sparking clogs

Now he takes his brush and he waits outside them pearly gates
To paint his matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs

Now Lowry's hang upon the wall
Beside the greatest of them all
Even the Mona lisa makes a bow

But this tired old man with hair like snow
Told northern folk its time to go

The fever came and the good lord mopped his brow

And he left us matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs

He left us kids on the corner of the street that were sparking clogs

Now he takes his brush and he waits outside them pearly gates

To paint his matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs

And he left us matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs

He left us kids on the corner of the street that were sparking clogs

Now he takes his brush and he waits outside them pearly gates

To paint his matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs
