XTC - 1000 Umbrellas lyrics

Your rating:

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
