Standing at the bus stop with my shopping in my hands when I'm overhearing elderly ladies as the rumours start to fly
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 turned around
It started with a school girl who was running running home to her mum and dad told them she was playing in the change room of her local football side They said tell us again she told them again they said tell us the truth I find it hard to believe cause he taught our Steve he even trained me taught Uncle john who's a father of three
CHORUS
It only takes one tree to make a thousand matches only takes one match to burn a thousand trees
You see it in the class room in the swimming pool where the match stick men are made at the scouts hall at the football where the wise we trust are paid They all honour his name he did a lot for the game he 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
CHORUS
Wake up and smell the rain shake up he's back to stay he 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 turned around They keep fanning the flame tossing the blame got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates Now they're ripping them down stamping the ground pictures gathers dust in the bar in the lounge
CHORUS
