"A Thousand Trees" is the third single by Welsh rock band Stereophonics. The song is taken from their debut album, Word Gets Around and was released in August 1997. It reached #22 on the UK Singles chart.

The catchy, anthemic opener is about a respected junior football coach who ruined his career through rumours about a lurid sexual encounter with a female student.

The title and the lyric 'It only takes one tree to make a thousand matches but only takes one match to burn a thousand trees' came from the back of a box of England's Glory matches.[1]
