Title: Ironic
Post by Night_Owl on Sep 8^th, 2002, 10:50pm

Ironic- Alanis Morissette

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
Who would've thought... it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids 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 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
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

Oh is this not true?

Time to see the beauty through the pain It is ironic that it takes pain to make life clearer. Time to find your place in the scheme of things.

I think life is truely the purist, most unadulterated form of irony that you'll ever be able to find.

I really like Alanis Morrisette's first "album". Very passionate.

She lets out with uninhibited passion, what most of us females tend to keep inside.

That is probably why men (for the most part) don't care for her songs.

I also agree with Drk, that life itself is ironic. But heck, whats a little irony between friends eh? Recognizing the irony in life merely means that you can see clearly. Unfortunately, with this, comes the need to guard against cynicism, self pity, and bitterness.

Ya know, it is funny. Everybody that saw me as a baby said that I looked like an "old person". In the genes I guess.

There's a thin line between irony and fate but to me, to view something as ironic or fate, is to have a 'glass half full' attitude.
Alanis Morrisette has doen some good work, not that I like much of her music, but I must admit the lyrics to that song are powerful.
