Ironic

Because today I feel Ironic, and as I´m sitting here thinking, it comes to my mind Alanis Morissette famous song from her debut album Jagged Little Pill, the lyrics couldn´t have been more clearer.

And 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
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

Mr. Play it safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kid´s 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

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 up
In your face

A traffic jam when you´re already late
A non-smoking sing on your cigarette break
It´s like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It´s meeting the men of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn´t it ironic...don´t yoou think
A little too ironic... and, yeah, I really do 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

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