Karaoke Track: Matchstickmen And Matchstick Cats And Dogs by Brian and Michael (Sunfly)

He painted Salford&#39;s

smokey tops on

cardboard boxes

from the shops

And parts of

Ancoats where
I used to play

I&#39;m sure he once
walked down our street
&#39;cos he painted kids
Who had nowt on their
feet

The clothes they

wore had all seen
better days

Now they said

his works of art
were dull

But Lowry didn&#39;t

care much anyway

And Lowry said
that&#39;s just the

way they&#39;ll stay

And he painted

matchstalk men
and matchstalk
cats and dogs

He painted kids
on the corner of the

street that wore

sparkling 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&#39;re just

an ordinary chap?

And he painted

matchstalk men and
matchstalk cats

and dogs

He painted kids on
the corner of the
street that wore

sparkling clogs

Outside them factory
gates to paint his
matchstalk men and
matchstalk cats and dogs

Now Lowry&#39;s hang

upon the wall

This tired old man
With hair like snow

told northern folk
it&#39;s time to go

And he left us
matchstalk men and
matchstalk cats

and dogs

He left us kids

on the corner of
the street that
wore sparkling clogs

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
wore sparkling 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
wore sparkling 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
wore sparkling clogs
