alanis 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 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 take
Who would've thought... it figures




Mr. 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 flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
Well isn't this nice...

And isn't it ironic... don't you think?





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 up In your face





A 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...


Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out


Helping you out

1. I won Mayday tickets, but yet i bought ticket before i knew i won
2. I thought i was on a comfortable bus(express ma...), but yet it went the wrongway.
3. i thought i was right about someone or anyone.
