Standin' at the bus stop
with my shoppin' in my hands
and I'm overhearin'
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 turned around
Started with a school girl
who was runnin'
runnin' home
to her Mom and Dad
Told them she was playin'
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
at the swimmin' pool
where the
matchstick 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
But they're rippin' them down
stampin' the ground
picture gathers
dust in the bar
And it only 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
growin' seeds don't believe
why he's been away...
In the school yard
change room
playin' field's bathroom
phone box, office blocks
corners turned around
They keep doubtin' the flame
tossin' the blame
got his name
knocked up above
the sports ground gates
Now they're rippin' them down
stampin' the ground
picture gathers
dust in the bar
And it only takes one tree
to make a thousand matches
only takes one match
to burn a thousand trees
Thousand trees
thousand trees
thousand trees
So happy to have discovered Lucky Voice. We'd never tried karaoke before, but this is so much fun! So many great songs and so easy to use. Love it!

Easy to set up, entertains the little ones by day and the adults by night.
