Surprise, Surprise (Sweet Bird Of Paradox) (Anthology version)
[That again. There's a break every time there.

Yeah, I know. Is anybody beat or string through it?

No, oh, I thought it was you, sombody was hanging over. Maybe a foot on the pedal or something.

Are you keeping time there, Jim?

No.

On that break?

Well, would you do it, Jim?

Alright.

Eh, I don't know what you do it on.

Something that you'd take off later?

Yeah!

Alright. 1, 1,2,3,4.]

Sweet as the smell of success
Her body's warm and wet
She gets me thru this God awful loneliness
A natural high butterfly oh I
I need, need, need her

Just like a willow tree
A breath of spring you see
And oh boy you don't know what she do to me
She makes me sweat, forget who I am
Oh I need, need, need her

Well I was wondering how long this could go on, on and on
Cos I thought I could never be surprised
But could it be that I bit my own tongue, mm hmm
Oh yeah, it's so hard to swallow when you're wrong

A bird of paradise
Sunrise in her eyes
God only knows such a sweet surprise
I was blind she blew my mind think that I
Oh I love, love, love her

[Stay on your D! D! Stay there, hey!]

Sweet sweet sweet, sweet sweet smell
Sweet sweet sweet, such sweet sweet
Sweet sweet smell

[OK thank you. Stop! Let me just check it.]
