  13. Minimalpairs – SongAlanis Morissette – Ironic An old man turned ninety-eight He won the lottery and tied the next day It's a black fly in your Chardonnay It's a death row pardon two minutes too fate Isn't it ironic ... don't you sink

  14. It's like pain on your wedding day It's a free right when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't tape Who would've thought ... it figures

  15. Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly He packed his suitcase and missed his kids good-bye He waited his whole damn light to take that flight And as the plane crashed down he fought 'Wellisn'tthisnice...' And isn't it ironic ... don't you think?

  16. Well life has a sunny way of sneaking up on you When you thing everything's okay and everything's going right And life has a sunny way of helping you out when You think everything's gone wrong and everything flows up In your face

  17. It's a traffic jam when you're already laid It's a no-smoking sign on your cigarette brave It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a night It's meeting the man of my dreams And then meeting his beautiful life And isn't it ironic... don't you think? A little too ironic... and yeah I really do think...

  18. It's like pain on your wedding day It's a free right when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't tape Who would've thought ... it figures
