One for Lowry and his Matchstalk Men.

All the Lowry People


Mr. Lowry the rent man
he helps where he can
coming out of factories
Matchstalk men
Coming out of school 1927
Popping through letterboxes
all over the British Isles

Drawing little boats
when he was eight
Any port in a storm!
said his Mam.

Many old clocks under her roof
and they all kept different times,
concert pianist dreams unrealized;
Coppelia is running in Manchester
I've got tickets, all the dolls
come to life!
