1000 Umbrellas (Early Acoustic Run Through) Songtext / Lyric

1000 umbrellas

Upturned couldn't catch all the rain

That drained out of my head

When you said we were

Over and over I cried

Till 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

1000 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

1000 umbrellas opened

2000 umbrellas opened

10, 000 umbrellas opened to spoil the view
