Ironic

今天用google確認我沒有把"ironic"拼錯的時候發現了其中一個連結連到了由ALANIS MORISSETTE所演唱的Ironic,這首歌收錄在由Warner Brothers於1995年發行的JAGGED LITTLE PILL專輯中,話說當年在NZ的時候還有買過這張CD呢~

再度仔細看過歌詞之後發現不但歌曲名稱蠻符合我目前的處境,連其中的歌詞現在看來也顯得蠻貼切的:
"Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's ok and everythings going right"
(這算是傳說中的"樂極生悲"嗎?)

希望另一句歌詞能夠在不久的將來也變得貼切:
"And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think evertyhing's gone wrong and everthing blows up
In your face "

以下附上整首歌曲的歌詞:
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

Chorus:
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 this ironic ... don't you think?

Repeat Chorus

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's ok and everythings going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think evertyhing'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 wife
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
A little too ironic.. and yeah I really do think...

Repeat Chorus

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny way of helping you out
helping you out
