Disarm me with your smile

Who would've thought?!

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 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

  • São estas ironias que apelidamos de "azar" que nos obrigam a abdicar dos atalhos para seguir pelo caminho mais difícil. E a maioria das vezes ficamos perplexos com a imensidão de descobertas que fazemos ao longo dessas curvas e curvas.. que parecem não ter fim.. O Mundo está repleto de caminhos desconhecidos como a Vida está de oportunidades. Como diz Fernando Pessoa, "Pedras no caminho? Guardo todas. Um dia vou construir um castelo!". Beijo Grande *

  • Tá muito engraçada esta versão... principalmente naquela parte "and his beatiful... husband". Alanis Morissette sempre activa na política social dos Estados Unidos.. Goldfrapp muito bom o pormenor de Pessoa.
