Stereophonics - A Thousand Trees Acoustic (with lyrics) video free download

Taken from the CD 2 version of the song A Thousand Trees

Originally from the album Word Gets Around (1997) Bside

Standing at the bus stop with my shopping in my hands

when i'm over-hearing elder ladies

as the rumours start to fly

you 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 steve even trained me

taught uncle john who's a father of three

Only takes one tree to make a thousand matches

only takes one match to burn a thousand trees

thousand trees

You see it in the classroom

or 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

did a lot for the game

got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates

now they're ripping them down stamping the ground

picture gathers dust in the bar in the lounge

It takes one tree to make a thousand matches

only takes one match to burn a thousand trees

thousand trees

Wake up smell the rain

shake up he's back to stay

hasn't been on a holiday

growing seeds don't believe

why he's been away

In the school yard

change room

playing fields

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

now they're ripping them down stamping the ground

picture gathers dust in the bar in the lounge

Only takes one tree to make a thousand matches

only takes one match to burn a thousand trees

thousand trees

thousand trees

thousand trees
