Life

"An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
I'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 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"

Alanis Morissette

  1. Nunca me había fijado mucho en la letra de esta canción, porque la música no me entusiasma. Pero me parece tristemente auténtica. Me gusta mucho Head over Feet, también me parece auténtica, pero bastante más esperanzadora.

  2. Esperanza, siempre Esperanza.
    Hope is what you need, que diría el poder nipón para el cartel electoral de la candidata del partido de centro que gobierna Madrid.Todo ello en el entendimiento de que me refiero a la virtud teologal, y no a la política.
