Ironic

Ayayayayay....

An old man turned 98,
He won the lottery, and died next day.
It's a black fly in your chardonay,
It's a death row pardon two minutes to late.
Isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day,
It's a free ride when you're already paid,
It's a good advice that you just didn't take,
And who would have thought it figures?

Mr. Play-It-Safe was afraid to fly;
He packed his suit case and kissed his kids goodbye.
He waited hid 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're already paid,
It's a good advice that you just didn't take,
And who would have thought it figures?

Life has a funny way
Of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay
And everything going right.
Yeah, 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 yur cigarette break,
It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife,
It's like meeting the man of your 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're already paid,
It's a good advice that you just didn't take,
And who would have thought it figures?

It's like rain on your rainy day,
It's a free ride when you're already paid,
It's a good advice that you just didn't take,
And who would have thought it figures?

Life has a funny way
Of sneaking up on you...

Yeah, life has a funny way 
Of helping you out,
Of helping you out....
This song actually tackles the ironies of life, and how destiny sets it out unexpectedly on us all.
But for Sailormoon fans, Sailormoon herself is ironic. How could a girl who is a crybaby, has odds with her own little brother, has low grades, and always has more time for fun than for studies like Bunny (Usagi) be a big superheroine like Sailormoon? Big figure of speech isn't it? But she isn't alone in the anime world. There are many other anime characters out there that are ironic in nature, like Evangelion's Shinji Ikari, a pilot who does not want to fight, and Ash, a Pokémon trainer who is just learning, to name a few.
