So after finishing my chores I'm sitting in the treehouse with my peacock Rover, and between tokes he sez, "I bet The Church have sung about trees a few times." This question intrigues me, so when I wake up I dig into the catalog, and root out a grove of tree references! Enough to make up this woody little Church lyrics quiz. See how many quotes you can match up to the proper song. Answers below.

The Lyrics:
1.
I say, why are those buildings swaying like trees?
2.
I was working in an orchard that grew the strangest fruit
It wasn't Mother Nature that made those trees take root
3.
And he's waiting for her in the shade
With the angels and the sad old trees, patiently
4.
Birds of neo-paradise groove in the trees
5.
A palm tree nodded at me last night
He said, "Hey, you look so pale."
6.
First night of summer the air comes rushing in across the trees
Bringing strange birds from beyond....
7.
I parked my car by some memories
And told my story to the laughing trees
8.
...trees in the studio
9.
Sad trees throw shade that falls around
10.
Then one winter morning you walk through the trees
But they cut them all down for the factories
11.
The wind caught in the trees
Screaming to be free
12.
I see the perfect life is the life of a tree
Yeah the life of a tree is the life for me
But you chop me up for wood
13.
A million memories in the trees and sands, oh no
How can I ever let them go?
14.
You and me, we're as free as we can be
Can't you see, like the trees so obviously...
15.
And his subjects gathered 'round him
Like the leaves around a tree
