Surprises

Surprises is a song from the eighth season. Like Accidents will Happen, it focused on accidents that occurred during the series portrayed in the music video.

Lyrics
Surprises, surprises, they come all shapes and sizes

You never know what's round the bend

It might delight, it might offend

That's why there's surprises with all their highs and lows

Do you come out top or come full stop

Who knows, who knows, who knows!

You're half way up a hillside and all is going fine

When all at once a snow slide comes right across the line

You think you're really done for, but help is on its way

You'd be surprised how often that someone saves the day

Surprises, surprises, they come all shapes and sizes

You never know what's round the bend

It might delight, it might offend

That's why there's surprises with all their highs and lows

Do you come out top or come full stop

Who knows, who knows, who knows!

A day of no surprises may be dull and flat

'Cause no one knows what's down the line

You can be sure of that

Surprises, surprises, they come all shapes and sizes

You never know what's round the bend

It might delight, it might offend

That's why there's surprises with all their highs and lows

Do you come out top or come full stop

Who knows, who knows, who knows!

That's why there's surprises with all their highs and lows

Do you come out top or come full stop

Who knows, who knows, who knows!

Surprises, surprises, they come all shapes and sizes

You never know what's round the bend

It might delight, it might offend

That's why there's surprises with all their highs and lows

Do you come out top, come full stop

Shine and gleam, need a clean

Take the mail, come off the rail

Who knows, who knows, who knows!
