Matchstalk Men and Matchstalk Cats and Dogs

Dans le style de

Michaël

Paroles

he painted salford's
smokey tops

on cardboard boxes
from the shops

and parts of ancoats
where i used to play

i'm sure he once
walked down our street

'cos he painted kids
who had nowt on their feet

the clothes we wore
had all seen better days

now 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 with
the 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 painted
matchstalk men

and matchstalk cats and dogs
he painted kids on the corner

of the street with
the 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 lowries hang
upon the wall

beside the greatest
of them all

and even the mona lisa
takes a bow

this tired old man
with hair like snow

told northern folk
it's 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

with 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

with 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

with 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

with sparking clogs
now he takes his brush

and he waits
outside them pearly gates

to paint his matchstalk men
and matchstalk cats and dogs
