Alanis Morissette – Ironic Lyrics  Share

From Alanis Morissette's album: Jagged Little Pill

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
And 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 damned 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
And who would^,ve thought, it figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
[ Ironic lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/a/alanis-morissette/ironic/ ]
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

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
And 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
