IronicI learnt a new word today from my Japanese housemate. Ironic.
An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your chardonnayIt'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
W ho 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?
Repeat chorus
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...
Repeat chorus
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out
After understanding the word finally after 19 years of my life, i find the word quite interesting, mainly because it describes many incidents in my life. For example, just recently i had a sketch assignment that started after lecture at 1pm and im supposed to like hand it in at 5 pm. We're supposed like to travel to the site and sketch the building and stuff. So i thought like, screw the lecture, wake up early, get the sketch over early so i dont need to rush. So that morning i waked up early and headed towards tram station to realise that i forgot my folio ( which contains my drawing board, paper and stuff). So had to run back to get it and back to the station. Phanting and all. So caught a tram bla bla bla. Reached the destination and walked to the site just to discover.....i left my bag in the tram!!! I had like my camera and important notes for my other assignment inside and stuff, not to mention my drawing equipments too. So means i HAD to get it back no matter wat. I chased after every tram i saw, jumping in for a peek to check if it was around. But after thinking about it sensibly, it wouldnt just make a round that fast... should take about an hour or so. But i was panicking. I was worried. I contacted the nearest tram conductor to lodge a report about it. Thankfully he called the office and said that they found it and its over there right now. In Malvern that is. Yup. I have no idea where it is too. But i had to get there. He told me to take a tram there and tell the driver where i wanted to go and stuff. Im like OK. I had no idea it was one hour away and thats just one way. To and from would take..... yup u guessed it. 2 hours. By the time i got back and had my lunch at Nando's it was almost 1. So basically me skipping lecture, waking up early and all that shit didn't pay off at all. I still managed to finish my work in time, but when i got back i started feeling sick and all. A flu followed that plagued me for the next 2-3 weeks. Isnt it ironic...........Dont'cha think?
