[XTC - 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 please
D when I'm handed the keys
To a town they call Misery? Oh oh, Misery
So with a mop and a bucketI'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 (Oh)
Two thousand umbrellas opened (Oh)
Ten thousand umbrellas opened to
Spoil the view
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 please
D when I'm handed the keys
To a town they call Misery? Oh oh, Misery
So with a mop and a bucketI'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 (Oh)
Two thousand umbrellas opened (Oh)
Ten thousand umbrellas opened to
Spoil the view
