P A N D A Z

This is one of my favorite song from Alanis.

Ironic

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 this ironic ... don't you think?

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...

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

諷刺

有個老人今年九十八歲
他中了樂透但是隔天就翹了
就像是一杯法國紅酒裡有隻黑蒼蠅
就像是遲了二分鐘的死刑赦免
實在是很諷刺．．．不是嗎？

就像是婚禮那天下大雨
就像是有人要載你但你剛買了車票
就像是應該接受的忠告你正好不理
誰又想得到．．．人算不如天算

安全第一先生很怕坐飛機
有一天他收拾了行李跟孩子們吻別
他等了整整一輩子終於要來坐這趟飛機
當飛機失事墜毀的當下，他心裡想
「喔，這真好啊！」
這真諷刺啊，你不覺得嗎？

我想，生活就是會莫名其妙地搞你一下
當你認為一切都沒有問題，事情進行都很順利的時候
生活也會莫名其妙就幫你一把
當你覺得你倒楣到家，一切都已經在你眼前
搞砸了的時候
你已經遲到了還交通堵塞
你可以休息抽菸，偏偏禁止吸菸
就像是有上萬支湯匙但你需要的是刀子
就像是終於遇見你的夢中王子
同時還看到他身旁的美麗妻子
這還真諷刺‧‧‧你不覺得嗎？
有點太諷刺了‧‧‧是啊，我相信

我想，生活就是會莫名其妙地搞你一下
生活也會莫名其妙就幫你一把
幫你一把
