Ironic
From "Jagged Little Pill " - Alanis Morisette
An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too
late
Isn't it ironic... don't you think
Chorus:
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't
take
Who would've thought... it figures
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his
kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life to take
that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well, isn't this nice." And Isn't this
ironic ... don't you think?
Repeat Chorus
Well life has a funny way of sneaking
up on you
When you think everything's ok and everythings
going right
And life has a funny way of helping you
out when
You think evertyhing's gone wrong and
everthing blows up
In your face
A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need
is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
and then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
A little too ironic.. and yeah I really
do think...
Repeat Chorus
Well life has a funny way of sneaking
up on you
And life has a funny way of helping you
out
helping you out
