Ironic

A música Ironic ou Ironia em português, é uma das minhas preferidas da Alanis, e demonstra muito bem diferentes histórias irônicas corriqueiras que acontecem em nossas vidas. Quanta ironia! As pessoas são irônicas, a vida é irônica, as situações são irônicas... e tudo isso é IRÔNICO.

"An old man, turned nighty-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 damn life, to take that flight
And when the plane crash 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 ok, and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when think everything's going wrong
And everything blows up in your face

A traffic jam, when you're already late
A no- smoking sign on your cigarrete 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... yeah I really do think!

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you...
life has a funny, funny way of helping you out, helping you out."
