1000 Umbrellas Lyrics - Skylarking - Xtc

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 road map 

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 billion 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
