Verse 1
He Cpainted Salford Smokey tops,
On CAmardboard boxes from the shops.
And paA7rts of Ancolts where I used to pDmlay.

The clGothes he wore had all seen better Cdays, C F G
Verse 2
NGow they sCaid his works of art where dull,
No roAmom old lad the wall was full,
But LoA7wry didn’t care much any Dm- way,
They said he just paints cats and dogs.
And MaCtch stalk men in boots and clogs,
And LowGry said that’s just the way they’Cll stayG,
