Ironic Songtext
von Laura

An old man turned 98
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 that you′ve already paid
It's a good advice that you just didn′t take
But who would have thought, it figures
He played 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 that you've already paid
It′s a good advice that you just didn′t take
But who would have thought, it figures
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 you 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 cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It′s like 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 that you've already paid
It′s a good advice that you just didn't take
But who would have thought, it figures
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny way of helping you out
Helping you out
