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
“ironic” (1996)
alanis morissette
the song to sing when life gives you lemons.
sidenote: the song’s lyrics claim irony where it does not exist, and that makes it truly ironic. with that said, may the endless linguistic debates that have spawned because of this song end forevermore. if you still don’t buy that explanation, then listen to this version instead.
