[00:00:00] Matchstalk Men & Matchstalk Cats & Dogs - The Houghton Weavers

[00:00:06] He painted Salford's smokey tops

[00:00:08] On cardboard boxes from the shops

[00:00:12] And parts of Ancoats where I used to play

[00:00:17] 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 we wore had all seen better days

[00:00:29] They said his works of art were dull

[00:00:32] No room all round the walls are full

[00:00:35] But Lowry didn't care much anyway

[00:00:40] They said he just paints cats and dogs

[00:00:43] And matchstalk men in boots and clogs

[00:00:46] And Lowry said that's just the way they'll stay

[00:00:51] And he painted matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs

[00:00:58] He painted kids on the corner of the street with the sparking clogs

[00:01:04] Now he takes his brush and he waits outside them factory gates

[00:01:09] To paint his matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs

[00:01:16] Now canvas and brushes were wearing thin

[00:01:19] When London started calling him

[00:01:21] To come on down and wear the old flat cap

[00:01:27] They said tell us all about your ways

[00:01:30] And all about them Salford days

[00:01:33] Is it true you're just an ordinary chap

[00:01:38] And he painted matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs

[00:01:44] He painted kids on the corner of the street with the sparking clogs

[00:01:50] Now he takes his brush and he waits outside them factory gates

[00:01:56] To paint his matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs

[00:02:02] Now Lowries hang upon the wall

[00:02:05] Beside the greatest of them all

[00:02:08] Even the Mona Lisa takes a bow

[00:02:14] This tired old man with hair like snow

[00:02:17] Told northern folk it's time to go

[00:02:20] The fever came and the good Lord mopped his brow

[00:02:25] And he left us matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs

[00:02:31] He left us kids on the corner of the street with sparking clogs

[00:02:37] Now he takes his brush and he waits outside them pearly gates

[00:02:43] To paint his matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs

[00:02:48] And he left us matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs

[00:02:54] He left us kids on the corner of the street with sparking clogs

[00:03:00] Now he takes his brush and he waits outside them pearly gates

[00:03:06] To paint his matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs
