Ironic Lyrics - Boyce Avenue

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 

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 

And life has a funny way of helping you out when 

You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up 

In your face
