Lyrics
An old man turned 98
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
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 have thought it figured?
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase, he kissed his kids goodbye
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 have thought it figured?
Well, life has a funny way
(Of sneaking up on you when think everything's okay
And everything's gone right)
Well, 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 have thought it figured?
And you know life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out
-FINAL RESULTS-
1st place: Ironic - 74 points
2nd place: Wunderkind - 73 points

Yes! Knew it! 
But please another song than The Mummers Dance! It's overused and overplayed.

Please be Dante's Prayer
But extremely good artist choice anyway Steph. When you first said you'd be sending a very well known artist that you were surprised hasn't been sent yet, I thought of Joni Mitchell (who would have been equally as good).

Loreena McKennitt - The Mystic's Dream
The Stratford folk musician had great success at WV18 in London with "Canavaserai" representing Ontario. She hopes to match that success representing Canada with this equally beautiful song from the "Mysts of Avalon" soundtrack
Lyrics
A clouded dream on an earthly night
Hangs upon the crescent moon
A voiceless song in an ageless light
Sings at the coming dawn
Birds in flight are calling there
Where the heart moves the stones
It's there that my heart is longing for
All for the love of you
A painting hangs on an ivy wall
Nestled in the emerald moss
The eyes declare a truce of trust
And then it draws me far away
Where deep in the desert twilight
Sand melts in pools of the sky
When darkness lays her crimson cloak
Your lamps will call, call me home.
And so it's there my homage's due
Clutched by the still of the night
And now I feel, feel you move
Every breath is full
So it's there my homage's due
Clutched by the still of the night
Even the distance feels so near
All for the love of you.
A clouded dream on an earthly night
Hangs upon the crescent moon
A voiceless song in an ageless light
Sings at the coming dawn
Birds in flight are calling there
Where the heart moves the stones
It's there that my heart is longing for
All for the love of you.
