Letra
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
Cause he painted kids with nothing on their feet
The clothes we wore had all seen better days.
He 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 in the sparking clogs
He takes his brush and he waits outside those 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 tell us all about your ways
And all about those Patricks 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 in the sparking clogs
He takes his brush and he waits outside those 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 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 in sparking clogs
Now he takes his brush and he waits outside those 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 in sparking clogs
Now he takes his brush and he waits outside those 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
Tradução da letra
Ele pintou os tops smokey do Salford.
Em caixas de cartão das lojas
E partes de Ancoats onde eu costumava jogar
Tenho a certeza que uma vez ele andou pela nossa rua
Porque pintava miúdos sem nada nos pés.
As roupas que usávamos já tinham visto dias melhores.
Ele disse que as suas obras de arte eram aborrecidas.
Não há espaço, as paredes estão cheias.
Mas o Lowry não se importava muito.
Dizem que ele pinta cães e gatos.
E matchstalk homens de botas e tamancos
E o Lowry disse que é assim que eles vão ficar.
E pintou matchstalk men e matchstalk cats and dogs
Ele pintou crianças na esquina da rua nos socos.
Ele pega no pincel e espera fora dos portões da fábrica.
Para pintar o seu matchstalk homens e matchstalk gatos e cães
Agora, telas e escovas estavam a ficar finas.
Quando Londres começou a chamá-lo
Para descer e usar o velho boné plano
Eles contam - nos tudo sobre as tuas maneiras.
E tudo sobre os dias dos patrícios
É verdade que és um tipo normal?
E pintou matchstalk men e matchstalk cats and dogs
Ele pintou crianças na esquina da rua nos socos.
Ele pega no pincel e espera fora dos portões da fábrica.
Para pintar o seu matchstalk homens e matchstalk gatos e cães
Agora os Lowries pendem na parede
Ao lado do maior de todos
E até a Mona Lisa faz uma vénia
Este velho cansado com cabelo como neve
Disse ao povo do Norte para ir a febre veio e o bom Senhor esfregou a testa
E deixou-nos homens de matchstalk e cães de matchstalk
Ele deixou-nos crianças na esquina da rua em socos.
Agora ele pega no pincel e espera fora dos portões do céu.
Para pintar o seu matchstalk homens e matchstalk gatos e cães
E deixou-nos homens de matchstalk e cães de matchstalk
Ele deixou-nos crianças na esquina da rua em socos.
Agora ele pega no pincel e espera fora dos portões do céu.
Para pintar o seu matchstalk homens e matchstalk gatos e cães
E deixou-nos homens de matchstalk e cães de matchstalk
Ele deixou-nos crianças na esquina da rua com socos.
Agora ele pega no pincel e espera fora dos portões do céu.
Para pintar o seu matchstalk homens e matchstalk gatos e cães
