IRONIC

為了呼應上一篇我所抒發的無病呻吟，我要放首歌來陪襯一下。

這張專輯推出的時候，我正在巴拿馬當交換學生。那時候我19歲，所有壞習慣、該嘗試的，在那個萬惡淵藪城市，我都經歷了。

當時每天在巴拿馬叫我的起床歌，就是這首Ironic。是由Alanis Morissette作詞作曲+主唱的。

Ironic by Alanis Morissette


An old man turned ninety-eight 一個老頭子要滿98歲了，
He won the lottery and died the next day 他贏了張彩券然後隔天就過世了。
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay 諷刺的是 一隻黑蒼蠅在你的白酒裡
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late 諷刺的是 死刑特赦遲了兩分鐘才發佈
Isn't it ironic ... don't you think 不是很諷刺嗎? 你不覺得嗎?

Chorus
It's like rain on your wedding day 就像在你婚禮的當天下了場雨
It's a free ride when you've already paid 就是當你已經付錢了才知道是免費的
It's the good advice that you just didn't take 就是一個非常好的忠告，但是你根本就沒採用
Who would've thought ... it figures 誰會想得到? 就是這樣發生了，有可能的啊!

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly "謹慎小心"先生很怕飛行，
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye 他打包了他的行李然後跟孩子們吻別。
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight 他媽的等了這一生就要搭這趟飛機
And as the plane crashed down he thought 當墜機的時候他想到
'Well isn't this nice...' "哇嗚~ 這下可好了..."
And isn't it ironic ... don't you think 不是很諷刺嗎? 你不覺得嗎?

Repeat Chorus


Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you 生活會用各種好笑的方式牽絆住你，
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right當你覺得一切都很好，一切都進行得順利的時候。
And life has a funny way of helping you out when 生活也會用有趣的方式幫助你，
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up當你覺得每件事在你面前都不對，
In your face每件事都搞砸的時候。

It's a traffic jam when you're already late 當你已經遲到的時候，它是你碰上的塞車；
It's a no-smoking sign on your cigarette break 在你想抽菸休息的時候，它是禁煙標誌；
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife 當你需要一隻刀子的時候，它就像是一萬隻湯匙在你面前。
It's meeting the man of my dreams 它也是當你遇上你夢中情人的時候，
And then meeting his beautiful wife然後遇見他美麗的妻子。
And isn't it ironic... don't you think 這不是很諷刺嗎? 你不覺得嗎?
A little too ironic... and yeah I really do think... 有點太諷刺了吧! 我真的是這樣認為的。

Repeat Chorus


Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you 生命有個有趣的方式來牽絆住你
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out 生命有個有趣的，有趣的方式來幫你脫困，
Helping you out 幫你脫困
