Stereophonics

Standing at thebus stop with my shopping in my hands,
When I'm over hearing elder 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 stall every corner turned around.
Started with the school girl who was running,
Running home to her mum 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 found it hard to believe
Cause he taught our Steve, even trained me,
Taught Uncle John who's a father of three
It 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 class room or the swimming pool,
Where the match stick men are made,
At the scouts hall at the football,
where the wise we trust are paid,
We all honour his name, did a lot for the game,
Got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates,
