[00:00:01] Matchstalk Men & Matchstalk Cats & Dogs - St. Winifred's School Choir

[00:00:07] He painted Salford Smokey tops

[00:00:10] On Cardboard boxes from the shops

[00:00:14] And parts of ancolts where I used to play

[00:00:20] I’m sure he once walked down our street

[00:00:23] Cause he painted kids who had nowt on their feet

[00:00:26] The clothes he wore had all seen better days

[00:00:36] Now they said his works of art where dull

[00:00:39] No room old lad the wall was full

[00:00:43] But Lowry didn’t care much any way

[00:00:49] They said he just paints cats and dogs

[00:00:52] And Match stalk men in boots and clogs

[00:00:55] And Lowry said that’s just the way they’ll stay

[00:01:01] And he painted Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and dogs

[00:01:07] He painted kids on the corner of the streets with the sparking clogs

[00:01:14] And now he takes his brush and he waits out side them factory gates

[00:01:20] To paint his Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and dogs

[00:01:28] Now canvas and brushes where wearing thin

[00:01:31] When London started calling him

[00:01:34] To come on down and wear the old flat cap

[00:01:40] They said tell us all about your ways

[00:01:44] And all about them Salford days

[00:01:47] Is it true you’re just an ordinary chap

[00:01:52] And he painted Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and dogs

[00:01:59] He painted kids on the corner of the streets with the sparking

[00:02:06] And now he takes his brush and he waits out side them factory gates

[00:02:12] To paint his Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and dogs

[00:02:19] Now Lowry's hang upon the wall

[00:02:23] Be side the greatest of them all

[00:02:26] And even the Mona Lisa takes a bow

[00:02:32] This tired old man with hair like snow

[00:02:36] Told northern folk its time to go

[00:02:39] The fever came and the good Lord mopped his brow

[00:02:44] And he left us Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and dogs

[00:02:51] He left us kids on the corner of

[00:02:54] The streets with the sparking clogs

[00:02:58] Now he takes his brush and

[00:03:00] He waits out side them pearly gates

[00:03:04] To paint his Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and dogs

[00:03:11] And he left us Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and dogs

[00:03:17] He left us kids on the corner of

[00:03:20] The streets with the sparking clogs

[00:03:23] Now he takes his brush and he waits out side them pearly gates

[00:03:30] To paint his Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and dogs

[00:03:36] And he left us Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and dogs

[00:03:43] He left us kids on the corner of

[00:03:46] The streets with the sparking clogs

[00:03:49] Now he takes his brush and he waits out side them pearly gates

[00:03:56] To paint his Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and dogs
