A Thousand Trees - Sam Adderton[00:00:00]
Written by:Richard Jones/Stuart Cable/Kelly Jones[00:00:00]
Standing at the bus stop with my shopping in my hands[00:00:19]
And I'm overhearing elder ladies[00:00:23]
As the rumours start to fly[00:00:26]
You can hear them in the school yard[00:00:28]
In the scrap yard[00:00:30]
In the chip shop[00:00:31]
In the phone box[00:00:32]
In the pool hall[00:00:33]
At the shoe store[00:00:34]
Every corner turn around[00:00:35]
It started with a school girl[00:00:37]
Who was running[00:00:39]
Running home to her mam and dad[00:00:40]
Told them she was playing[00:00:42]
In the change room of the local football side[00:00:43]
They said tell us again she told them again[00:00:46]
Tell us the truth they find it hard to believe[00:00:48]
'Cause he taught our I was Steve he even trained me[00:00:50]
Taught our John who's a father of three[00:00:52]
Only takes one tree to make 1000 matches[00:00:55]
Only takes one match to burn a thousand trees[00:00:59]
A thousand trees[00:01:08]
You see it in the classroom[00:01:12]
In the swimming pool[00:01:14]
Where the match stick men are made[00:01:14]
At the scout's hall[00:01:17]
At the football[00:01:18]
Where the wise we trust are paid[00:01:19]
They all honour his name[00:01:21]
He did a lot for the game[00:01:21]
Got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates[00:01:23]
But they're ripping them down stamping the ground[00:01:25]
Picture gathers dust behind the bar in the lounge[00:01:28]
Only takes one tree to make a thousand matches[00:01:30]
Only takes one match to burn a thousand trees[00:01:34]
A thousand trees[00:01:42]
Wake up and smell the rain[00:01:48]
Shake up he's back to stay[00:01:52]
He hasn't been on a holiday[00:01:56]
His growing seeds don't believe[00:02:01]
Why he's been away[00:02:03]
From the school yard[00:02:21]
Changing room[00:02:22]
Playing field[00:02:23]
Bathroom[00:02:24]
Phone box[00:02:25]
Office blocks[00:02:26]
Corners turn around[00:02:28]
They keep doubting the flame tossing the blame[00:02:29]
Got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates[00:02:32]
And they're ripping them down stamping the ground[00:02:34]
Picture gathers dust in the bar[00:02:36]
Only takes one tree to make a thousand matches[00:02:38]
Only takes one match to burn a thousand trees[00:02:43]
A thousand trees[00:02:51]
A thousand trees[00:02:55]
A thousand trees[00:02:59]
