IRONIC
An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It’s a black fly in your 1)Chardonnay
It’s a 2)death row 3)pardon two minutes too late
And isn’t it ironic, 4)dontcha 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
And who would’ve thought, it 5)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, dontcha think?
Repeat *
Well, life has a funny way of 6)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 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, dontcha think?
A little too ironic, and, yeah, I really do think... Repeat *
And, yeah, well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out

有位老人剛滿九十八
中了彩票但隔天終壽
就像黑蒼蠅掉進(jìn)你的白葡萄酒
就像死刑赦免令來晚了兩分鐘
這真是諷刺,你不覺得嗎?
*就像婚禮那天下起瓢潑大雨
就像剛買了車票卻有順風(fēng)車
就像你充耳不聞的恰是字字忠言
誰(shuí)會(huì)想得到呢,這也是正常*
安全第一先生害怕坐飛機(jī)
他收拾好行李,跟孩子吻別
他等了整整一輩子,終于坐上飛機(jī)
飛機(jī)失事墜毀之際,他心想
“喔,這不挺好的……”
這真是諷刺,你不覺得嗎?
重復(fù) *
生活總會(huì)莫名其妙地給你個(gè)措手不及
在你認(rèn)為萬(wàn)事大吉、一切順利時(shí)
生活也會(huì)莫名其妙地幫你一把
在你覺得倒霉透頂,眼看著一切
都要在你面前土崩瓦解的時(shí)候
遲到了偏偏還遇上塞車
休息想抽煙卻看到禁煙標(biāo)志
就像有成千上萬(wàn)的勺子
而你需要的卻是餐刀
就像終于遇見夢(mèng)中情人
卻又見到他那美麗的妻子
這真是諷刺,你不覺得嗎?
有點(diǎn)太諷刺了,是啊,我真覺得……
重復(fù) *
沒錯(cuò),生活總會(huì)莫名其妙地給你個(gè)措手不及
生活也會(huì)莫名其妙地幫你一把
幫你一把
不經(jīng)典不推薦
艾拉妮絲·莫莉塞特(Alanis Morissette)是上世紀(jì)90年代出現(xiàn)的搖滾女明星,至今仍然是加拿大女歌手中最具有象征意義的代表人物之一。1994年初,為尋求更廣闊的發(fā)展空間,Alanis到了美國(guó)洛杉磯,開始走搖滾樂路線。經(jīng)過相當(dāng)一段時(shí)間的精心鍛造后,1995年,Alanis的第三張個(gè)人專輯《小碎藥丸》(Jagged Little Pill)正式發(fā)行。這張專輯的空前成功遠(yuǎn)不限于商業(yè)意義。作為一名加拿大歌手,22歲的Alanis在第38屆格萊美頒獎(jiǎng)典禮上獲得了六項(xiàng)提名,并且最終憑借此專輯以及其中的單曲《你該知道》(You Oughta Know)獲得年度最佳專輯、最佳搖滾樂專輯、最佳搖滾歌曲和最佳搖滾女歌手共計(jì)四項(xiàng)大獎(jiǎng)。
