About Ironic
"Ironic" is a song written by Alanis Morissette and Glen Ballard and produced by Ballard for Morissette's third album Jagged Little Pill (1995). It was released as the album's fourth single in 1996. Musically, the song is a glossy take on a basic grunge music format with delicate, sparsely-instrumented verses alternating with loud, aggressive chorus sections. Lyrically, it comprises a series of vignettes describing situations that end with the question "Isn't it ironic?" .
Ironic Lyrics
[00:11.10] An old man turned ninety-eight
[00:16.69] He won the lottery and died the next day
[00:22.05] It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
[00:27.88] It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
[00:33.60] And isn't it ironic... don't you think
[00:38.45] It's like rain on your wedding day
[00:44.14] It's a free ride when you've already paid
[00:49.64] It's the good advice that you just didn't take
[00:55.74] And who would've thought... it figures
[01:01.74] Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
[01:06.68] He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
[01:12.45] He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
[01:18.21] And as the plane crashed down he thought
[01:21.88] "Well isn't this nice..."
[01:23.72] And isn't it ironic... don't you think
[01:29.22] It's like rain on your wedding day
[01:34.94] It's a free ride when you've already paid
[01:40.46] It's the good advice that you just didn't take
[01:46.47] And who would've thought... it figures
[01:52.59] Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
[01:56.68] When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
[02:03.42] And life has a funny way of helping you out when
[02:07.52] You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
[02:11.08] In your face
[02:15.28] A traffic jam when you're already late
[02:20.10] A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
[02:26.10] It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
[02:31.86] It's meeting the man of my dreams
[02:34.43] And then meeting his beautiful wife
[02:38.56] And isn't it ironic... don't you think
[02:43.52] A little too ironic... and, yeah, I really do think...
[02:49.25] It's like rain on your wedding day
[02:55.15] It's a free ride when you've already paid
[03:00.68] It's the good advice that you just didn't take
[03:06.97] Who would've thought... it figures
[03:15.05]
[03:18.16] Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
[03:24.07] Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out...
[03:31.96] Helping you out
[03:33.90]
[00:16.69] He won the lottery and died the next day
[00:22.05] It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
[00:27.88] It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
[00:33.60] And isn't it ironic... don't you think
[00:38.45] It's like rain on your wedding day
[00:44.14] It's a free ride when you've already paid
[00:49.64] It's the good advice that you just didn't take
[00:55.74] And who would've thought... it figures
