1000 Umbrellas

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

One thousand umbrellas opened (Oh)

Two thousand umbrellas opened (Oh)

Ten thousand umbrellas opened to spoil the view
