Alanis Morissette
Ironic (Live On Australian Idol)
Old man turned 98 he won the lottery
And died the next day
It's a black flag
And your chardonnay
Death row pardon 2 minutes too late
(chrous)
Isn't it ironic, don't you think?
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride and you already paid
Good advice that you just didn't take
And who would have thought
It figure
He played it safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase 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
Well life has a funny way
Of helping you out when you think every things okay
Everythings goin right
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 like meeting the man of my dreams
Then meetinghis beautiful wife
(chorus)
Isn't it ironic?
Don't you think?
