Ironic (feat. Avril Lavigne)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 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
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 everthing blows up in your face
A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful husband
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
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out
