   There is a Stereophonics song with the lyrics:

   "It only takes one tree to make a thousand matches,
   it only takes one match to burn a thousand trees"

   I always ythought the numbers were a bit low - but I suspect that it was the inspiration for this one.

   Me thinks Mr. Bonavita is a Stereophonics fan.

   ...either that, or he owes them royalties.

   "It only takes one tree to make a thousand matches."

   I guess if you inflate the number, you can plagiarize the idea?

   Though the Stereophonics probably didn't come up with it first either.

   For anyone who dosnt know what was said above:
   Song by Stereophonics - Thousand trees

   Standing at the bus 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
   Now they're ripping it down, stamping the ground
   Picture gather dust in the bar and the lounge

   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, growing seeds, don't believe why he's been away

   In the school yard, change room, playing fields, bathroom, phone box, office
   Blocks
   Corner's turned around, they keep doubting the flame, tossing the blame
   Got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates
   Now they're ripping it down
   Stamping the ground picture gathers dust in the bar and the lounge

   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
