Alanis Morissette 'Ironic’ An old man
turned ninety-eightHe
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?
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
takeWho would've thought, it
figuresMr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He
packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to
take that flightAnd as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well, isn't this nice"
And isn't it ironic, don't you think
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
Well, life has a funny way of
sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of
helping you out when
You think everything's
gone wrong and everything
blows upIn your faceA
traffic jam when you're already late
A "no smoking" sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand 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
