Lyrics
Thrills and spills on the railway, it's a life of happiness
But sometimes impatience can lead to carelessness
Some think they are smart cat, and some just know it all
But sooner or later we all find out that
Accidents happen now and again
And just when you least expect
And just when you think that life is okay
Fate comes to collect
Accidents happen now and again
When people or trains get smart
If you don't concentrate on the things that you're doing
Accidents will happen just like that
Your best laid plan can turn upside down, if you get too confident
Sometimes you will slip and slide, if that's Lady Luck's intent
One minute you're riding high, the next you're on the ground
But please remember whatever the weather, you must take care, 'cause
Accidents happen now and again
Sometimes just by chance
You gotta pick yourself up and dust yourself down
Put it down to experience
Accidents happen now and again
Just don't take it all to heart
If you don't concentrate on the things that you're doing
Accidents will happen just like that
The warning signs are there for us to see most of the time
But sometimes we take chances, ignore the danger signs
Fate can surprise you with no reason or rhyme
Make sure you learn your lesson, you'll know better next time
Accidents happen now and again
And just when you least expect
And just when you think that life is okay
Fate comes to collect
Accidents happen now and again
When people or trains get smart
If you don't concentrate on the things that you're doing
Accidents will happen just like that
Accidents happen now and again
Sometimes just by chance
You gotta pick yourself up and dust yourself down
Put it down to experience
Accidents happen now and again
Just don't take it all to heart
If you don't concentrate on the things that you're doing
