Standing at the bus stop with my shopping in my hands |
| [00:13.86] |
And I'm overhearing elder ladies |
| [00:16.62] |
As the rumours start to fly |
| [00:18.76] |
You can hear them in the school yard |
| [00:20.18] |
In the scrap yard |
| [00:21.23] |
In the chip shop |
| [00:22.36] |
In the phone box |
| [00:23.49] |
In the pool hall |
| [00:24.68] |
At the shoe store |
| [00:25.82] |
Every corner turn around |
| [00:27.80] |
It started with a school girl |
| [00:29.27] |
Who was running |
| [00:30.33] |
Running home to her Mam and Dad |
| [00:32.18] |
Told them she was playing, |
| [00:33.81] |
in the change room of the local foorball side |
| [00:36.61] |
They said tell us again, she told them again, |
| [00:38.95] |
tell us the truth, they find it hard to believe |
| [00:41.04] |
'Cause he taught our I was steve, he even trained me, |
| [00:43.34] |
taught our John who's a father of three |
| [00:45.54] |
Only takes one tree, to make 1000 matches |
| [00:50.12] |
Only takes one match, to burn A thousand trees |
| [00:58.58] |
A thousand trees |
| [01:02.13] |
|
| [01:03.05] |
You see it in the classroom |
| [01:04.47] |
In the swimming pool |
| [01:05.47] |
Where the match stick men are made |
| [01:07.49] |
At the scout's hall |
| [01:08.82] |
At the football |
| [01:09.81] |
Where the wise we trust are paid |
| [01:11.49] |
They all honour his name |
| [01:12.64] |
He did a lot for the game |
| [01:14.23] |
Got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates |
| [01:17.81] |
But they're ripping them down, stamping the ground |
| [01:19.51] |
Picture gathers dust behind the bar in the lounge |
| [01:22.58] |
|
| [01:23.22] |
Only takes one tree, to make a thousand matches |
| [01:27.30] |
Only takes one match, to burn a thousand trees |
| [01:30.50] |
A thousand trees |
| [01:36.82] |
|
| [01:38.73] |
Wake up, and smell the rain |
| [01:42.92] |
Shake up, he's back to stay |
| [01:47.39] |
He hasn't been on a holiday |
| [01:51.32] |
His growing seeds don't believe |
| [01:53.96] |
Why he's been away |
| [02:02.69] |
|
| [02:11.88] |
From the school yard |
| [02:12.88] |
Changing room |
| [02:14.25] |
Playing field |
| [02:15.29] |
Bathroom |
| [02:16.29] |
Phone box |
| [02:17.38] |
Office blocks |
| [02:18.50] |
Corners turn around |
| [02:20.09] |
They keep doubting the flame, tossing the blame |
| [02:22.70] |
Got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates |
| [02:24.94] |
And they're ripping them down, stamping the ground |
| [02:26.94] |
Picture gathers dust in the bar |
| [02:28.61] |
|
| [02:28.96] |
Only takes one tree, to make a thousand matches |
| [02:33.14] |
Only takes one match, to burn A thousand trees |
| [02:41.32] |
A thousand trees |
| [02:45.63] |
A thousand trees |
| [02:49.81] |
A thousand trees |
| [02:55.97] |
