Standing at the bus stop with my shopping in my hands
  And I'm overhearing elderly ladies
  As the rumours start to fly
  You can hear them in the school yard
  In the scrap yard
  In the chip shop
  In the phone box
  In the pool hall
  At the shoe store
  Every corner turn around
  It started with a school girl
  Who was running
  Running home to her Mam and Dad
  Told them she was playing, in the change room of the local football side
  They said tell us again, she told them again, tell us the truth, they find it hard to believe
  'Cause he taught our I was steve, he even trained me, taught our John who's a father of three
  
  Only takes one tree, to make 1000 matches
  Only takes one match, to burn A thousand trees
  A thousand trees
  
  You see it in the classroom
  In the swimming pool
  Where the match stick men are made
  At the scout's hall
  At the football
  Where the wise we trust are paid
  They all honour his name
  He did a lot for the game
  Got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates
  But they're ripping them down, stamping the ground
  Picture gathers dust behind the bar in the lounge
  
  Only takes one tree, to make a thousand matches
  Only takes one match, to burn a thousand trees
  A thousand trees
  
  Wake up, and smell the rain
  Shake up, he's back to stay
  He hasn't been on a holiday
  His growing seeds don't believe
  Why he's been away
  From the school yard
  Changing room
  Playing field
  Bathroom
  Phone box
  Office blocks
  Corners turn around
  They keep doubting the flame, tossing the blame
  Got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates
  And they're ripping them down, stamping the ground
  Picture gathers dust in the bar
  
  Only takes one tree, to make a thousand matches
  Only takes one match, to burn A thousand trees
  A thousand trees
  A thousand trees
  A thousand trees
