Alanis Morissette - Ironic
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 to late
isn't it ironic... don't you think
Refrain:
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 have 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 just to take that flight,
and as the plane crashed down he thought "well isn't this nice..."
and isn't it ironic... don't you think?
Refrain
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
when you think everything is okay everything's going right.
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
you think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up in your face
A traffic jam when you are 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 like meeting the man of my dreams then meeting his beautiful wife.
and isn't it ironic... don't you think?
a little too ironic... and yeah i really do you think...
Refrain
life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
life has a funny, funny way of helping you out -- helping you out
