Ironic — текст песни (Alanis Morrisette)

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 it ironic ... don`t you think

(repeat chorus)

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 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
