Alanis Morissette Ironic

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1]
An old man turned 98
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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!

[Verse 2]
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”

[Pre-Chorus]
And 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!

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
It’s a traffic jam when you’re already late
It’s 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

[Pre-Chorus]
And isn’t it ironic.. don’t you think?
A little too ironic
Yeah.. I really do 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!

[Outro]
And yeah life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out
