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 who had nowt on their feet
The clothes we wore had all see better days
Now they said his works of art were dull
No room, all ’round, the walls are full
But Lowry… Read more
