Alanis... innovative, original, gutsy.  Her songs are hard and strong, but I just love them.

Ironic
Mr. Play-it-Safe was afraid to fly
he packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
he waited his whole damned life
to take that flight
and as the plane crashed down he thought
'well, isn't this nice?'
And isn't it ironic, dontcha think

a way to get my hands untie

Wake Up

You Learn
You live you learn. You love you learn.
You cry you learn. You lose you learn.
You bleed you learn. You scream you learn.
You grieve you learn. You choke you learn.
You laugh you learn. You choose you learn.
You pray you learn. You ask you learn.
You live you learn.
