ALANIS MORISSETTE - Ironic

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
Isn't it ironic... don't you think

(chorus)

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
And who would've thought it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
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
And 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 10,000 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
And who would've thought it figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out

KUCING, SITI, JOKO dan KAMTO

KUCING, SITI, JOKO dan KAMTO (TOTO RAHARJO) Hampir setiap hari, dari pagi sampai sore hujan tak kunjung reda-memang sedang musimnya. Tapi banyak orang mengatakan salah musim (salah mangsa), pertanda bahwa metabolisme kehidupan ini sedang amburadul. Di rumah masing-masing: Siti, Joko dan Kamto masing-masing menemukan seekor kucing yang tengah berteduh di teras rumah dalam keadaan basah kuyup dan kedinginan. Melihat keadaaan kucing yang kelihatan memelas itu – Siti, Joko dan Kamto tergerak hatinya untuk menolong kucing tersebut dengan mempersilahkan kucing itu masuk ke dalam rumah. Apa yang dilakukan Siti, Joko dan Kamto terhadap kucing tersebut? Siti, ternyata tidak hanya sekadar menolong kucing dari kedinginan, dia juga tergerak hatinya untuk memelihara sekaligus mendidiknya.

[indonesiamembaca] Taman Bacaan Masyarakat

Taman Bacaan Masyarakat Catatan yang tertinggal namun patut untuk disimak. Perjuangan Membangun Budaya Membaca dan Menulis Oleh : Virgina Veryastuti Negeri ini semakin terpuruk setiap harinya, ketika semua yang diinginkan dapat diraih dengan mudah alias serba instant, masyarakat tak lagi menyukai sebuah proses yang membutuhkan waktu lebih lama.

Audioslave-Be Yourself

Audioslave Be Yourself Someone falls to pieces Sleepin all alone Someone kills the pain Spinning in the silence To finally drift away Someone gets excited In a chapel yard Catches a bouquet Another lays a dozen White roses on a grave To be yourself is all that you can do To be yourself is all that you can do Someone finds salvation in everyone And another only fame Someone tries to hide themself Down inside their selfish brain Someone swears his true love Untill the end of time Another runs away separated or united? Or is everyone insane? To be yourself is all that you can do To be yourself is all that you can do To be yourself is all that you can do To be yourself is all that you can do You can be fading up And pulled apart Or been in love Every single memory of Could have been faces of love Dont lose any asleep tonight I'm sure everything will end up alright You may win love But to be yourself is all that you can do To be yourself is all that you can do
