1000 Umbrellas Lyrics

    One thousand umbrellas
    Upturned couldn't catch all the rain
    That drained out of my head
    When you said we were
    Over and over i cried
    'til i floated downstream
    To a town they call
    Misery oh oh misery
    Misery oh oh misery

    And one million teacups
    I bet couldn't hold all the wet
    That fell out of my eyes
    When you fell out with me
    Now i'm crawling the wallpaper
    That's looking more like a roadmap
    To misery oh oh misery

    How can you smile and forecast
    Weather's getting better
    And you'll soon forget her
    If you let the sunshine come through
    How can you smile and forecast
    Weather's getting better
    If you never let a girl rain all over you
    And just when i thought that my vista was golden in hue
    One thousand umbrellas opened to spoil the view

    One million salt seas
    Recalled from school atlas
    Alas would be filled to the brim
    Sunny jim couldn't jump it
    How can i be pleased
    When i'm handed the keys
    To a town they call misery
    Oh oh misery

    So with a mop and a bucket
    I'll just say forget her
    And carry on sweeping up
    Where i've been weeping
    The jesters will creep in
    To strike down the newly crowned monarch
    Of misery oh oh misery

    How can you smile and forecast
    Weather's getting better
    And you'll soon forget her
    If you let the sunshine come through
    How can you smile and forecast
    Weather's getting better
    If you never let a girl rain all over you
    Just when i thought that my skies were a june july blue
    One thousand umbrellas opened
    Two thousand umbrellas opened
    Ten thousand umbrellas opened to spoil the view
